Absolutely.  Though you may want to configure your services to 
auto-restart upon a crash or something like that.  Or not.  It's your 
call.  :)

On a personal note, systemd allowed me to get rid of several highly 
brittle hand-written init scripts and some rc.local stuff, plus a nasty 
manually-invoked-via-a-screen-session mess that was necessary because 
the PHP-based service didn't have access to the necessary POSIX APIs to 
properly daemonize itself.
