The difference between regular systemd daemons and systemd daemons that
maintain "systemd pid files" is that systemd needs to be able to read and delete the latters' pid files

So the daemons themselves do not delete them, but systemd does it for them

I was not accurate:

(allow common_subject systemd_daemon_subject_type (process (signull)))
(call systemd_rw_unix_stream_sockets (systemd_daemon_subject_type))
(call systemd_read_state (systemd_daemon_subject_type))

1. systemd needs to send null signal to all daemons
2. all daemon need to rw (getattr read write ioctl) systemd unix_stream_socket
3. all daemon need to read system state

addiitonally if one decides to split shutdown out of systemd domain then all daemons also need to be able send child terminated signal to shutdown (because shutdown becomes pid 1 on shutdown

I would probably move systemd utmp out into its own domain since in maintains /run/utmp but probably not feasible for your configuration since init_t is probably already allow to maintain utmp anyways
