If it's TL:DR - apologies and no worries. Given the confidentiality constraints, the only advice I can give would be that if these servers are primarily to run one or a few daemons, runit would be extremely easy for admins to run and use. You could write a document about using runit to init the system, email it (sanitized for confidentiality constraints) to prospective admins before their interviews, and see which applicants can handle the extremely easy and simple runit system. If the system is very complex and has to boot quickly, I think your choices are systemd and s6. Today's s6, with its rc-init, is not simple, so management's fears would have some basis. In this case, you might get some help from s6 author Laurent Bercot. One last thing: Capitulating to their "we want systemd so we have trained people" bias isn't something to be ashamed of. Business is business.
