You've decided the best way forward for you is to write sysvinit and openrc scripts. That's an opinion completely focused around writing some additional code. You don't have to write it all from scratch to be expressing that opinion, you can express it a lot of different ways but that's all it encompasses. Unless we're talking about something else that I missed? Suggesting that something is better than something else is really meaningless without that.
