Ask Tom. networkd should get the ability to extract those special
options from DHCP (like next-server, filename option, special dhcp
options, ...) to be able to be fully useful in initramfs.

OTOH, in archiso, we do not have to rely on such mechanisms, we can
transmit all options via the command line.

You won't get anywhere without shell scripts I'm afraid. I'd put some
parts of archiso into generators and some parts into services which call
shell scripts. Once we have a working solution, we can still make it
more systemd-y.
