Thats fine, and lord knows we probably need a replacement to sudo.

However, sudo needs to be user friendly and fail safe with decent information as to why its failed. Something that service files historically didn't do.

But, the way it's supported also needs to change, it almost certainly needs to be decoupled from systemd's release cycle.

I hope that we have all learnt from early systemd, and that we all won't take a "lets piss on each other's chips" approach. I'm too old you you lot to start flame warring over stuff you'll never actually fucking use.

doas exists but isn't universally available but already solves this problem. sudo has too many features and permits excessive configuration, but it also has the convenience of ubiquity. Inventing a third thing tied to systemd is absurd and unnecessary.
