BTW: my solution was to yank all the wifi cards out of the motherboard
of effected systems.

Could have probably tried blocklisting the wifi kernel module.

of effected systems.
I thought of that but then I would have identify and match driver per
system. The point here was that these are public access patron computers
that even though not all systems have identical hardware that have all identical setups. Makes administration simpler. IF a systems fails I can
have a new system setup and configured in less than 15min.
My question was more academic as to why would configuring Network
Manager to not manage a wifi device now under systemd fails but used to
work pre-D.

A subsystem will fail, if a config file has a syntax error.
It's possible the file needs more meat in it, and the
following may not be correct either.
[main]
plugins=keyfile
[keyfile]
unmanaged-devices=interface-name:enp1s0
Available plugins: keyfile, ifcfg-rh, ifupdown, ifcfg-suse
keyfile
plugin is the generic plugin that supports all the connection types and capabilities that NetworkManager has. It writes files out in a .ini-style format in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections.
For security, it will ignore files that are readable or writeable by any user or group other than root since private keys and
passphrases may be stored in plaintext inside the file.
You can see other examples of the idea at least, here.
This is from the year 2011.

Good config files have commented out sections
to show the structure, so the user has a chance
of getting the syntax correct on the first try.
