How does it reliably track mysqls state btw? What would define a bad state requiring restart?
IME just because a process is running doesn't mean it's actually in a good state. You need some kind of heartbeat protocol. Does systemd implement something like that?

No, the common problem with mysql is that it doesn't terminate cleanly. Its shutdown scripts can hang for minutes and _still_ leave hanging processes behind. These hanging processes later interfere with the startup.
SystemD nicely solves this problem. Hooking it up with an external heartbeat monitor should also be quite easy.

systemd can be configured to require that a service regularly notifies that it is still up, or else it'll be killed & restarted. See http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/watchdog.html for the details.
