It is very easy to launch a user-systemd lever service.
Just create .service descriptor file and "systemctl --user start ..."
it.

If it becomes RAM hungry and OOM Killers slaps it, systemd will just
restart it. If you code your daemon to behave on sudden death, no harm
should be done.

It is also very easy to control your service programatically with
systemd D-Bus API. See my pebble[1] app for reference.
