I thought so too, but I actually did a test build and systemd only ended
up with a dependency on libip4tc0

Package: systemd
 Version: 230-3
 Built-For-Profiles: noudeb noudeb
 Architecture: amd64
 Maintainer: Debian systemd Maintainers
<pkg-systemd-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org>
 Installed-Size: 17644
 Pre-Depends: libc6 (>= 2.17), libgcrypt20 (>= 1.7.0), liblzma5 (>=
5.1.1alpha+20120614), libselinux1 (>= 1.32)
 Depends: libacl1 (>= 2.2.51-8), libapparmor1 (>= 2.9.0-3+exp2),
libaudit1 (>= 1:2.2.1), libblkid1 (>= 2.19.1), libcap2 (>= 1:2.10),
libcryptsetup4 (>= 2:1.4.3), libgpg-error0 (>= 1.14), libip4tc0,
libkmod2 (>= 5~), libmount1 (>= 2.26.2), libpam0g (>= 0.99.7.1),
libseccomp2 (>= 2.1.0), libselinux1 (>= 2.1.9), libsystemd0 (= 230-3),
util-linux (>= 2.27.1), mount (>= 2.26), adduser, libcap2-bin

Which means:
 Package: libip4tc0
 Source: iptables
 Version: 1.6.0-3
 Architecture: amd64
 Maintainer: iptables devel team
<pkg-netfilter-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org>
 Installed-Size: 107

and addition 107K. Far better then the original 4M+

So, splitting up libiptc would actually benefit systemd.
