What are "unit files"?

I don't see why it would be messy.  If the conf.d/* are the same, you can
use the same config directory.  If they differ, you can can copy those
files to another config directory (e.g. conf-d/* -> conf-2.d/), modify the
snippets that differ, then include this alternate set of configurations

 	!include conf-2.d/*
