I and others have run lots of 'shrink-wrapped' software, and none of
them required 'run-levels' to work, though they did require the ability
to start/stop processes (which is independent of run-levels).

Also, you're 'docked/undocked' run-level requirement is a straw man.
All of your configuration is completely un-related to run-levels.
