I'm thinking (it happens)...
On Linux/BSD, ever so often, I've had to implement my own startup
scripts, which has never been a problem on Redhat, Slackware or BSD's.

If you must, the old rc.d scripting method still works.

If one has to work out some XML init script, is it vastly more
complicated digging out the inner workings of existing ones to
understand what's going on?

The XML is not a "script"; the start/stop scripts are generally
unchanged; the XML file contains the service's properties, their
default values, dependencies and such.
