This part is true, and the fact that the system comes up *lightning fast* is a bonus. I'm not satisfied with the documentation, however, as it seems to be scattered across several man pages, the Arch wiki only covers some of it, and as to upstream documentation, if there is any, I couldn't find it.
The upstream documentation is just the manpages: http://0pointer.de/public/systemd-man/ I'd suggest starting with section 7: bootup(7), daemon(7), kernel-command-line(7); and then possibly systemd(1), systemctl(1) and possibly systemd.special, systemd.service and systemd.exec. That should make you an expert.
The only other nitpick I have is that some packages refuse to log to stdout/stderr, which means that old syslog-ng (it isn't new anymore) continues to be necessary.
The journal should pick up anything logged with syslog(), so syslog-ng should only be needed in case you want the text files in /var/log or if you want to use the network protocol. -t
