Like vi versus emacs, it's become a religious dispute that doesn't allow for
objective discussion of merits. Please don't beat a dead horse. Just accept that
some people dislike or mistrust systemd, and move on. The alternatives *are*
being maintained and are perfectly serviceable.
To answer the OP's question: While Gentoo is OpenRC by default, I don't
recommend it for your case, because getting TDE installed here is a non-trivial
undertaking. I keep meaning to try again to do something about that.

Been using TDE on openSUSE for a while(and
S.u.S.E since v5.3 *sigh*)
but I think it's time to move to a non systemD infested distro. I'm
not here to debate the merits of it, I've made my decision and I'm
looking for advice from those that run TDE on distros that don't use
systemD.
There's Devuan(never really been a fan of Debian or uBuntu tho). I'm
just afraid that Devuan won't be able to keep up.
Would love to go back to Slackware, but it seems the lastest version
is 3.5.13ish??
Anyway, if you use a non-systemD distro, please let me know how TDE works
on it.
When you define a problem, you can also find a solution - simply saying "I
don't like it" is not a problem definition.
I've been using Debian with sysv-init, but only because systemd was causing
problems and I needed time to learn it. The concept of keeping systemd and
using init was a very good solution. I think I'll keep it on the server,
but for the desktop, I do not see a reason why you should not use systemd.
I guess you are also not driving a car from the 30ies.
