Jonathan de Boyne Pollard, creator of the Nosh system[a], has written an
article about "known problems with System 5 rc":

  https://jdebp.uk/FGA/system-5-rc-problems.html

i've used runit and s6+66 on Void Linux, and on Gentoo am currently
using OpenRC+s6 (the latter for providing user services, which are are
still a work in progress under OpenRC[b]):

  https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/User:Flexibeast/guides/OpenRC_user_services_via_s6

My own case is certainly niche, though s6 is extensively used for
containers, via the s6-overlay project, which currently has ~3.8k stars
on GitHub:
