I can't use sysvinit for Sparkylinux, can I?
I sampled SparkyLinux, but I don't think I'll keep it, as I realized it uses systemd. I don't suppose I have the option of using sysvinit instead in Sparky?

You could study how Devuan and AntiX do it. Both of them are based on Debian but they don't use systemd.
The sysvinit version of LFS uses elogind to provide for the systemd dependencies of certain application packages and so does Slackware.
