Long delay starting custom systemd service

Ever since systemd went from 234.11 from 233.75+, the following service takes 8x longer to start (it just sits waiting for the network).  If I downgrade systemd to the older version, it works as expected without the delay.

Link to upstream bug report: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/6500

I'm posting here seeking review/suggestions.

1) Is it my service?  Suggestions to modify it to start faster under the current version of systemd are welcomed.
2) Is it systemd?  Although I haven't seen much recently from upstream, if you guys feel there is something with systemd I could tweak to get the fast startup again, I would love to hear it.

Thanks all.
