I have written unit files and I maintain a Fedora 27 home server. I 
can't convince people at work to use RHEL or CentOS for anything. Debian

It seems to me that your problem is self-inflicted. I don't know of any 
reason for you to be running shell scripts in your unit files. It's a 
pretty silly way of ignoring the unit file syntax, which is ridiculously 
straight-forward and easy to learn.
