Service templates are really about multi-instantiation, and explicitly
not about enabling parameterization. That's why we only take a single
instance identifier as parameter, and not a list of parameters, for
example.

Why wouldn't a nomral suervice suffice for your usecase, with maybe a
few .d/ dropins to configure things differently?
