If you have to ask this, then its probably good idea to stick to systemd. I don't see any reason to change, other than to protest. In the process doing so you will probably encounter issues. People switch away from systemd for various reasons, but not for performance. In example they don't like who develops and controls systemd. And they don't like that it does more than just initializing the system, as bunch of other tasks are bundled into it. If all of that does not bother you, stay with systemd in my opinion.
And if you really want to switch to systemd, then I recommend to use a dedicated operating system (a distro) with that in mind. Don't forget, that systemd has many features and services, that its expected as a standard. You do not just change an init system, but replace all other components too.

Not sure if i agree with you on the performance part. There's definitely people out there that try to find the "fastest" init and some inits out there definitely boot faster. I personally don't care about it that much since it's usually a matter of a few seconds, but it is a thing.

do you think you'll continue to use sysemd once it start embracing gov't id requirements to use it? i ask because i hold a similar position, but it's adoption of the first step towards this end goal has me wondering if i should start looking for an alternative.
