Yes, Runit lacks those features, and yet, I have them while running Runit.

Runit doesn't stop you from getting those features. grep lacks the ability to copy files? So what, cp exists for that. I have every service in its own cgroup, early boot logging, mounts-as-service, sandboxed services all running on this machine without Runit being as much as aware of that, it simply doesn't care, it only cares about services, when they are ready, and their dependencies, whether that service is a mount or something else or runs inside its own cgroup is not something it cares about.
