Does WSL2 necessarily have to use that custom init? Is there any hard limit preventing the use of systemd?

systemd can be run alongside another init with somewhat less capabilities, but that's only really supported in Debian. But, yes, you have to use that custom init, since Windows doesn't provide a way to use a different one.
