Philosophically I'd claim that Type=oneshot is supposed to be for "short" running processes that something else waits for *to exit*. The other types are for "long" running processes, that nothing waits for to exit. Thus I think the coredump service is right for Type=simple. But yeah, the lines are blurry, and it would work with Type=oneshot too.
