My system is actually a hybrid of LFS and Gentoo.
LFS has an automated build called ALFS but the ALFS build does not allow
any customization. Gentoo allows package customization and so I use the
LFS boot scripts to initialize and then Gentoo to build the packages.
Read the LFS boot scripts (for non-systemd). They are quite simple.
For a stand-alone workstation it DOES NOT require 4 million lines of
code (i.e. systemd) to boot a system. I use only 50 loc -- and that
includes comments.
Most people do not realize how amazingly simple it is to boot a
Linux system. Neither systemd nor SysV is necessary.
Using systemd is like attaching a massive truck trailer to a sports car.
Check out KISS Linux:

One man. One Linux. Simplicity in the flesh.

You`d better start using the abacus then.
The Von Neumann architecture goes back to 1945. Essentially, we are all
using 80-year-old technology.
The majority of the "modern" Linux book process is involved with constructing
the exact same /dev tree (over and over and over) that could be
built statically.
Only apes create a new bed each and every night. The human being
uses a "static" bed.

This is your only valuable statement.
I decided to check out GUIX and I may try it out soon.
It seems to have a steep learning curve but it may be worth the investment
of time.
