To clarify things:
1. In original post I described system task which CAN (and sooner or
later will) be migrated to systemd timers.
But then You said that:
2. anacron can be dropped  - which in general is not true, because
systemd cannot provided proper functionality for user units.

For example: I have (--user)
kj-keepassx.service - my own service with keepasx
xscreensaver-monitor.service - my own service which to monitor screensaver

These services should NOT be run withoud graphical login.
But I would run my user timers. How to achieve this?

with cron/anacron I simply put line in my  (ana)crontab.
