Yes, systemd uses cgroups.  I'm trying to understand if the Slurm use of 
cgroups is incompatible with systemd, or if there is another way to 
resolve this issue?

Looking at the man page for pam_systemd, it looks reasonably safe to 
disable this for logins on HPC compute nodes.  I think you will also 
need to mask the systemd-logind service if you remove the pam module:

    systemctl stop systemd-logind
    systemctl mask systemd-logind
