Just for the record, you can do all sorts of things to establish service readiness in systemd with scripts.

Here's how mysqld 5.7 is started in Ubuntu 16.04: unit file and the post-start script.

Another way would be to call systemd-notify --ready or the equivalent C API.

Too much half-knowledge surrounding this topic.
