If the initscript already does it then that should be fine.
But Lennart prefers the tmpfiles.d approach as it's less cumbersome:

But the initscript needs the support anyway, if it is to support non-systemd
systems. And as an upstream, I'm trying to keep to a single init script where
possible. (and not have one for each branch of fedora)
Adding/supporting systemd files in /etc just for creating /var/run/packagename
does seem the ideal solution to me.
