Have you looked into the Linux From Scratch project?
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/
I had looked at before investigating Debian. As a leaning tool it was
attractive but I needed a "standard" system known to work specific
software others were using. Maybe it's time to examine it again. I
have a spare laptop I could dedicate to it.
I built a systemd version of Linux from Scratch in a VM a year or two
ago. It was mildly interesting, but I found it was too easy to go on
mental autopilot while following the scripts the developers provide. If
learning is your goal, take care to stop and figure out what each script
is doing.
I suspect I would tend to the other extreme.
Better, probably, would be to take a snapshot of your VM or hard drive
after successfully completing each major step and then intention muck
things up to see what breaks and if you can restore the system using the
steps you just finished. If not, restore from snapshot and try again.
I've downloaded
[http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/downloads/stable-systemd/LFS-BOOK-8.3-systemd-NOCHUNKS.html]
I'll explore it over the next week.
