Devuan has the easy repos like Debian, it's a pretty straight forward fork, as is AntiX.
Void is great, but a bit more complicated, not LFS insane complicated but like Arch/Gentoo "Git good noob" complicated.
Really, any is good, and I'm looking at moving from Debian to AntiX.
Good choice, though...
Systemd is a mess, and the main guy is one of those obnoxious tech bro types who doesn't listen to anyone and slaps crap in for no reason aside from his own ego. Everyone should be moving away from it, for many reasons.

The main issue is that nobody is able to come up with anything better. I use systemd because it made my job hugely easier and soved many problems. The main guy is an asshole but his work is good when you use it as he intended, which kind of is the point of open source. If you don’t like it you fork and do your own thing, until now nobody bothered, and this is telling. Poettering did respectable work in snarky fields like audio and init nobody wanted to do something in and everybody complained about. I respect that despite he behaving like a spoiled asshole
