One detail that I like a lot (but it sort of depends on your stance on > symlinks) is the way applications usually are placed in it:
I'm suggesting the Android core as this the environment I'm quite familiar with. I'll investigate if linux+musl would be a better fit, as I'm not totally tight to the Android core. But judging from the fact that Android is already on >500 million devices I would say that its core is quite well tested. And obviously it comes without the systemd dependency. > Each application gets its own directory under /opt and then installed files > get symlinks in / (the file system hierarchy is stali-inspired with everything > in root and usr just pointing back to root).
