Yes. I know ~/.profile, ~/.xsession, systemd units' "Environment=...",
"systemctl --user import-enviroment" and various other things. I can
manage. I'm just asking for other ideas on how to handle things
mentioned in my original post.

Well, here's the idea of my current setup (not exact copy):

~/.profile:

    # Set the usual environment:
    export PATH=...
    export EDITOR=...
    systemctl --user import-enviroment

~/.xsession:

    . ~/.profile
    # Start various systemd services:
    systemctl --user start graphical-session.target
    /usr/bin/i3
    systemctl --user stop graphical-session.target

~/.config/systemd/user/emacs.service:

    [Unit]
    Description=The Emacs Operating System

    [Service]
    Type=forking
    ExecStart=/usr/bin/emacs --daemon
    SuccessExitStatus=15
    Restart=on-failure
    TimeoutStartSec=0
    TimeoutStopSec=0

    [Install]
    WantedBy=graphical-session.target
