Yes. What you suggest is OK for an update on a working system, but what about a
fresh install or rescue? You call pacstrap to install into a directory, but
systemd is installed _after_ filesystem and a bunch of other packages which
expect all those directories.
IMHO, the idea of a stateless system applies to a narrow usecase like coreos,
when you magically obtained a working system (and systemd), and now can do all
the cool stuff. However, coreos is not a general-purpose distro like Arch.
On top of that, I remember that quite recently it was considered a no-no for a
daemon to write to /etc...
