For LFS as a flexible base for building tailored distribution, including systemd is a great benefit. To keep LFS understandable as an educational tool systemd just is a PITA. As an educational tool I would even strip it down further: Try to use busybox to replace some of the packages in chapter 5, try the same in chapter 6 (will not completely work, might require some patches), BLFS still will need coreutils, diffutils and stuff. And even replace the SysV init with busybox' init configured BSD style. If I should have too much time one day, I'll probably fork this kind of simplified LFS.
If you are looking for pointers, you can check out my fork at https://github.com/igzivkov which does exactly that. I'd also suggest http://suckless.org/ and http://landley.net/toybox/ as really useful resources.
