If your not familiar with openrc then you can't me of much use with

I've seen already far too many security breakins of systemd.

WTF - stop bitching and try to *understand* what people explain you

you fool defined "/run/mariadb.pid" which is *directly* below /run and the mysqld user has no business to write there (especially when you talk about security) - create a subfolder with the correct permission like "/run/mariadb" is your job and then the path is simply "/run/mariadb/mariadb.pid"

or just switch to a non tmpfs so that you can create that folder with the permissions and it stays - why do you use /run/ at all when you are so against systemd/freedkestop.org - guess where it was invented

what do you recommend to do?  The system is uniform

never write pid-files directly below /run
make /run world-writeable is a terrible idea

no idea about openrc, but systemd has
https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/tmpfiles.d.html to
create subfolders on tmpfs at boot with the correct permissions
