"The contents of /var/run ... are not preserved across a system reboot, ..."

Well clearly you wouldn't need /etc/tmpfiles.d to restore them if that 
were true. Whoever wrote that has as much clue as the guy who wrote 
"wouldn't HA setups benefit from faster boot" as rationale for the 
system that needs to run network directory query before it can configure 
the network interface.

I'll give you one better: they (systemd***heads) now want to boot 
without /etc so that's why storing condor:condor in /etc/passwd|group is 
a no-no and you need "mechanisms for registering system-level UID<->user 
mappings that are guaranteed to be present".
