I don't know SuSE, and I don't know systemd, but Debian solved this
problem years ago.  They use udev hooks.  Specifically, there is a
file named /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules that holds the MAC
address of each interface, and the desired interface name for it.
I don't personally know all the details of how it works, because I never
NEEDED to learn them.

Perhaps you should get in touch with a SuSE mailing list and see how
other SuSE users have dealt with this.  You might be reinventing the
wheel.
