If you manually write your own configuration for GRUB2, it is no more convoluted than for GRUB Legacy. If you use grub-mkconfig to generate a configuration file, you can append the init option by setting GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd" in /etc/default/grub. Either way, it's pretty simple.
