I agree.
There are already some initiatives that already try to answer those problems
- FreeBSD Services Control (monitoring, restarting)
http://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/local-distfiles/trhodes/fsc-1.0.1.tar.gz
- Parallelism
https://github.com/kil/rcorder
https://github.com/buganini/rcexecr
You can also think on jails for children containment (what systemd is
currently doing with cgroups).
IMHO working with small simple feature improvement with rcNG glue is
a better way than introducing an SMF / launchd monster
