But here I cannot see approx.service, only approx@.service
(ie. service which can have multiple instances)

Multiple instances, eh? That's a part of systemd I know nothing about.
On my test machine, while approx is enabled, I have no instances
actually running, which leads me to think that systemd launches an
instance of approx when a client knocks on its port, much like inetd.
And that could easily lead to multiple instances.

Does anybody read signatures any more?

Yes.  That's precisely what "socket activation" is -- an inetd-like
feature built into systemd.
