sudo completion is supposed to know how to look ahead.  As written
above, the completion context is

tags in context :completion::complete:SYSTEMD_PAGER=::
    use-compctl    (_default)
    globbed-files  (_files _default)
tags in context :completion::complete:sudo::
    argument-rest  (_arguments _sudo)

The alias would work if it were instead

alias systemctl='SYSTEMD_PAGER= sudo systemctl'

Maybe this indicates need for a fix to _sudo
