You should really give it a try. GPT is not reserved for modern UEFI
systems or disks larger than 2 TiB.

Actually the separate /usr issue has nothing to do with systemd. Systemd
itself works fine with a separate /usr mounted late (according to
systemd developpers [*]). The main issue is that other software such as
all the stuff which may be run by udev need /usr to be mounted early,
before filesystems in fstab are mounted.
