Do systemd unit files support comments? Assuming they do, this new file should include the usual license boilerplate.

Is this the generally-accepted best practice? Relying on systemd to handle the daemonization for the process, management of any PID file, etc.?

Yes - most of what I've seen in systemd unit files is that you put the process in foreground mode and allow systemd to manage it. I can't cite a source that says it, just my anecdotal experience.
