They use something similar as the proposed solution.

[Unit]
Description=WPA supplicant daemon (interface-specific version)
Requires=sys-subsystem-net-devices-%i.device
After=sys-subsystem-net-devices-%i.device
Before=network.target
Wants=network.target

I just noticed that Quagga is using something similar too:

[Unit]
Description=GNU Zebra routing manager
Wants=network.target
Before=network.target
After=network-pre.target

openvswitch:

[Unit]
Description=Open vSwitch
Before=network.target network.service
After=network-pre.target ovsdb-server.service ovs-vswitchd.service
PartOf=network.target

ndisc:

[Unit]
Description=IPv6 Recursive DNS Server discovery Daemon
Documentation=man:rdnssd(8)
Before=network.target
Requires=network.target

So, maybe just:

[Unit]
Description=BIRD Internet Routing Daemon (IPv4)
Before=network.target
Wants=network.target
After=network-pre.target

But again, I think there is no guarantee interfaces have been
configured.
