I understand your reasoning for going with systemd-timer over cron,
especially the part about knowing that the thing is actually running.

So to be clear, I don't have a horse in this race. A few years ago I
would have foreseen all kinds of reactions to the implication that
systemd-timers would be "the most appropriate scheduler [...] on Linux".
Maybe those times are behind us now. In the commit message, you say "a
suitable", which reads a little bit less opinionated (to me).
That's just a minor point; feel free to disregard.

Missing trailing ".".
A cursory grepping of our docs suggests this should be monospace
(`systemd.timer(5)`). There aren't that many places where we refer to
non-git manpages, thanks for doing so.
That's the only nit I found to make about the markup in the
documentation. Thanks for your attention to details. :-)
