So no Gnome 3, I guess. Good. What about GTK3 ? I use XFCE, which depends on it, so I hope it's included. What I'd really like is a re-write of XFCE that uses QT.

Why not Gnome3? The problem is not Gnome3, pulseaudio, systemd, the problem is to make choice hard. It was easy for me not to use Gnome. To not to use pulseaudio I just had to kill the process. However, when suddenly more and more services are written, so they won't work without systemd anymore.... it makes me nervous. Regardless of the systemd quality.

Gnome3 without systemd would require a fork of Gnome3, which already exists in the form of Cinnamon. This was one of the big parts of what started the systemd uproar in the first place, with weight being thrown around to manipulate independent software projects on the part of the Redhat/systemd cabal.

You don't like that you can't use Gnome3 without systemd? Might want to take it up with Poettering.
