Using SystemD makes way more sense to me. I was just trying to use ovirt-node as it was ... intended? Mainly because I have no idea how it all works yet, so I've been trying to do the most stockish deployment possible, following deployment instructions and not thinking I'm smarter than the software :p.
I've given up on 4.2 for now, as 4.3 was just released, so giving that a try now. Will report back. Hopefully 4.3 enlists systemd for stuff?

About the gluster not starting - use systemd.mount unit files.
here is my setup and for now works:

[root@ovirt2 yum.repos.d]# systemctl cat gluster_bricks-engine.mount
# /etc/systemd/system/gluster_bricks-engine.mount
[Unit]
Description=Mount glusterfs brick - ENGINE
Requires = vdo.service

Before = glusterd.service
Conflicts = umount.target
