I would like to note that (a) "drop cron" implies "not having a cron daemon at all" which means an obviously broken system; sd-cron is an implementation of the cron daemon, which (b) I've been successfully using exclusively, entirely uneventfully in spite of my best efforts, for, now, years, on every class of system.
I'd also argue that root mail is likewise a necessity for well-functioning systems but that's harder to sell in 2025; either way, sd-cron's Suggests: reflects reality ‒ it can send you mail if you want or it can not, and you get the failures like any other service failures. or it can send matrix messages. or whatever via apprise.
