That somehow sounds like something with your dbus installation is broken.
What is the output of
$ ls -al /usr/lib/dbus-1.0/dbus-daemon-launch-helper
Attached as dbus.txt
invoke-rc.d: initscript gdm3, action "start" failed.
chrisc@tony:~$

There seem to be two problems there: one is gdm3 not starting, and the
other is logind complaining about not being fully started.
Is the dbus package installed? What's the output of "systemctl status
dbus.socket dbus.service"?
Failed to get D-Bus connection: Unknown error -1
You might consider attaching the full output of the systemd state via
"systemd-analyze dump"

Failed issue method call: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1


I will try booting using systemd tomorrow and address your other points. Thank you again for your time,
