So it's indeed possible to add:
Environment=PARAMS=[something]
EnvironmentFile=/etc/default/asterisk
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/asterisk $PARAMS [whatever]
However, this still won't allow supporting core dumps, as they require
switching to a different directory. It would require an override file:
### /etc/systemd/system/asterisk.service.d/local.conf:
[Service]
WorkingDirectory=[something]
So maybe just count on such an override file and just add:
Environment=EXTRA_PARAMS=
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/asterisk $PARAMS -f -U asterisk $PARAMS
