(OK, it's a single library with other parts included, but the sd-bus part is the biggest by far, and also sd-bus uses sd-event and sd-128 internally, so they'd be required anyway. The other parts are smaller, and matter more because of dependencies they pull in than because of the code size itself. But it is possible to compile libsystemd w/o some features, notably without encryption, to save size and deps. I don't think there's any significant barrier to using libsystemd on non-systemd systems, except for psychological issues.)
Don't discount psychological issues. The original reason for DNF not being named YUM was so that the project would be free to do better without the YUM baggage. That had the added effect of making it easier to propose for other distributions to adopt because YUM has a very negative reputation outside of the RHEL space.
