pcsc-lite uses systemd since version 1.8.0 released in November 2011.

The change introduced with this release is that the code now uses libsystemd instead of using a (no more maintained) sd-daemon.c embedded source code file.

Yes, the use of systemd is optional.
If you do not use systemd you will not get pcscd auto start support as described in https://ludovicrousseau.blogspot.fr/2011/11/pcscd-auto-start-using-systemd.html
