Well, fwiw, on my own Gentoo system, i use s6-rc to manage these=20
per-user-session (and susbsequently, per-desktop-session) things:

* the D-Bus session bus (a distinct bus from the system bus);
* Emacs server (some of the Emacs functionality i use is dependent on a run=
ning D-Bus session bus);
* PipeWire, PipeWire-Pulse and WirePlumber (by default, PipeWire=20
  runs per-user, and requires a D-Bus session bus; my PipeWire=20
  setup also acts as a Pulse server and a JACK server);
* MPD, the Music Player Daemon (to which i usually connect via the=20
  ncmpcpp client).

i say "per user session" because the above are started before i=20
start my GUI session (currently, Wayfire). That is, even though i=20
want these services in my desktop sessions, i also want them even=20
if don't want to start a desktop session.
