Systemd needs official documentation on best pract...
I'm sure it's a nice init program, and god knows sysvinit is garbage, but I'm much less clear why systemd needs to be my fucking DNS resolver, too.

It doesn't. Systemd-resolverd is a separate application, completely optional and only Ubuntu uses it by default.
Not that it is bad, but you don't have to use it.

It doesn't need one, but systemd-resolved works quite well and integrates nicely with other services. Systemd-resolved isn't mandatory, and you can still just use /etc/resolv.conf pointed to an external DNS server.
