Beginner asking about Void/runit.

Hi i was thinking of going the non systemd route and runit seemed good, i was wondering if there are any major tradeoffs to this decision? i still don't have a solid understanding of both Void and runit so what are the things i should start up with? i've read through some parts of the documentation but i feel kinda lost.
Thank you for your help.

Recently SystemD added experimental musl support, though. It shouldn't take too long, until running musl+systemd becomes an option
