The real only other alternative would be to sim 5 years then erase league history before starting the inaugural draft.
Simming forward is what I do when I start any league. I used to do that because it was thought there was an issue with talent levels initially created (don't think that is an issue now) but also for service time. Otherwise I ended up with huge FA classes because so many players started at the same time. In fact that may be in the future for the authour of the OP. All these players with exactly 2 years service time will all reach free agency at the same time.
