While I support systemd timers over cron, AFAIK cron has stuff like @hourly.

Some cron implementations do, it's not portable.

Neither are systemd timers. I don't think there's a single system out there implementing the systemd timer interface.

What do you mean? There's a single implementation as far as I know, deployed on many distributions and working identically.

The man page lists: minutely, hourly, daily, monthly, weekly, yearly, quarterly, semiannually (and "annually" further down in examples).

It doesn't have a "hourly" directory where you can drop in scripts though, AFAIK.

And SLURM's scrontab has @fika, @teatime, and - as of yesterday - @elevenses.
