Yeah, it's safe, though it might slightly slow your bootup for some reason I don't remember. Something about not being able to parallelize bootup, because if something calls NM methods via D-Bus, systemd won't be able to activate NM and block the receiving process until NM starts, so the receiving process will just get an error instead of waiting. But I guess that's supposed to be the current situation too with our Exec=/bin/false hack that hasn't worked in a while. It's worth a try to remove that file, and change the systemd unit file's [install] section to remove the Alias. Let me know if that breaks bootup horribly or something?
