Sysdig is very useful, but it's almost always broken on Fedora when I want to use it. I have recently started using https://github.com/iovisor/bpftrace instead, and so far it has covered the same use cases.
In emacs you can use syslog-mode for analyzing strace output: https://github.com/vapniks/syslog-mode

Sometimes you don't need it.
systemd itself just checks that `/etc/initrd-release` exists and runs in initrd mode changing its default target to boot into (IIRC you can also manually change the default target to `initrd.target` in the initrd, but this way the default systemd vendored files don't need to be touched).
