for socket activation and sd_notify(), only libsystemd-daemon is required
which is

-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root         11644 Feb 25 09:27 /lib/libsystemd-daemon.so.0.0.7

Ok, it needs more space than nothing and small things like this can sum
up easily.  But it is still a significant difference between having
libsystemd-daemon in the image or the whole systemd.

afair, libsystemd-daemon was designed to be as light weighted as possible
and will never depend on the rest of systemd.
