Yes you would need a few more packages

I've done three full builds with systemd, including desktop packages 
such as XFCE,KDE and requires dependencies

Pure 64 build following boot method For CLFS as a bare minimum you will need

attr-2.4.46
libcap-2.22
expat-2.1.0
XML-Parser-2.41
intltool-0.50.2
gperf-3.0.4
dbus-1.6.10
systemd-204


The method, I used was to follow the book all the way through didn't 
cross compile any of these packages listed above, used sysvinit and 
standalone udev + minimal bootscripts for booting until final system

There are a number of adjustments to be made to configuration files and 
some additional switches to configure arguments for packages along the way
Some are simple others took a bit of reading up, both the LFS book and 
the Arch Linux wiki and package set up were refered to

Yes more work, cblfs needs a lot of attention!!
