This is especially problematic in containers where the systemd administrator might decide to not delegate the unified hierarchy or when running with a liblxc driver that doesn't yet know how to handle the unified cgroup hierarchy. I've pushed patches to systemd upstream that let systemd ingnore the non-delegated unified hierarchy. The relevant commits are: e07aefbd675b651f8d45b5fb458f2747b04d6e04 2d56b80a1855836abf1d7458394c345ad9d55382 1ff654e28b7b8e7d0a0be33522a84069ac6b07c0 These patches will be in 236 but should be backported from xenial upwards.
