systemd v232 dropped the Wants and nothing activates the service anymore. The binary is still activated via udev, but that doesn't seem to get triggered properly, possibly because the i915 module is loaded via modules-load or it replaces the uefi fb.
BTW, without any means of activation, the service unit as shipped by upstream is useless. We'll see whether they remove it completely.
8125e8d38e3a claims that this should all "just work", but you're suggesting it isn't. Maybe we need to inquire upstream about the behavior?
