Hi
I've been using systemd-networkd too, it worked fine but, suddenly, I
met issue. I didn't understand why until i discovered it come from
systemd-networkd himself. After upgrading it, it worked again.
That issue was beneficial for me: i replaced systemd-networkd with
ConnMan. And now, I forgot it. Connman is very stable, well maintened,
light, it just works. Don't forget you need to be root to configure it.
Other thing: i hate wpa_supplicant. I replaced it with Iwd.
Greetings
