I just sysd2v v0.3 the /lib/systemd/system/iwd.service and the start
look good. Process is in ps auxf |grep "iwd"
I’m currently not able to be sure furthermore if it’s really working i
have to read more about init script  (never know what is needed or/and
for what) iw and connman integration there is a systemd script for
that to

cat /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/net.connman.iwd.service
[D-BUS Service]
Name=net.connman.iwd
Exec=/bin/false
User=root
SystemdService=iwd.service

but not sure it s a really usefull one
