It only handles the power button itself... and only if systemd is
inhibited.

It does, but systemd is at a lower level, so this doesn't help any. 

systemd starts up on boot and takes control of all the power management
that it's defined to in /etc/systemd/logind.conf

Unless it's inhibited later it will always handle those events. 

I suppose acpid could be adjusted to inhibit systemd when it's
installed, but it also doesn't handle suspend, hibernate or lid. 

I think the best option here is for xfce4-power-manager to inhibit
systemd when it's running and handle all those events as the user
wishes. Unfortunately, that requires upstream code.
