And the udev rule works! Now I can completely do away with laptop-mode-tools.

For the curious, I used:
SUBSYSTEM=="power_supply", ATTR{status}=="Discharging",
ATTR{capacity}=="5", RUN+="/usr/bin/systemctl hybrid-sleep"

This should work for any laptop that emits battery uevents at a
reasonable rate; mine didn't seem to at first, but started sending one
per 1% drop after it dropped below 15% or so, so if you want to test
it you may be waiting a while.
