If you're asking what I think you're asking: systemctl enable tftp # This adds a symlink for tftp into the (target? Milestone? One of those), equivalent to saying "/etc/rc2.d is done, now let's go to rc3.d". systemctl start tftp # This tries to start it systemctl status tftp # This gives you success, or debug information if it didn't work.
If I missed your question entirely, then can you word it differently?

I am trying to get something done and I have no patience for systemd's convoluted logic. The tftp-server installs (1) /etc/xinetd.d/tftp (2) tftp.socket (what's this?) (3) tftp.service Manually, I can start the service and everything works. But enabling the service stays disabled or indirect. Enabling the socket does not start the service on reboot. Do I need xinetd or does systemd deprecate xinetd? Geez! I miss the old days when Unix was simple.
