I did remove lightdm because otherwise, any major update sets it back as
default window manager, but dpkg-reconfigure worked.
And no, unfortunately, Debian also moved to systemd. on Debian 9, it was
possible to go back to sysvinit, on Debian 10 no more (at least when It was
released, don't know if someone found the trick).
For Debian-without-systemd look for Devuan or MX Linux.
This being said, as a "normal user", I can live with systemd and I can't say
that I have "seen" any really bad side of it (although I would prefer to get
rid of it).

I have
absolutely no experience with systemd-based distros, but this
makes me think you would need to look deeper into how systemd starts
display-managers and so on…
I tried, but currently it is beyond me (I admit I have cursed the
decision to move to systemd because it makes things much more opaque).
Debian is still sticking to sysvinit?
