If you use a session (org babel), Org will make an interactive session
(bash), and bash will read the '.bashrc'.

Using heading properties, you could do something like:

  * your heading
     :PROPERTIES:
     :header-args:shell:  :dir /ssh:user@remotesrv|sudo:serviceuser@remotesrv:
     :header-args:shell+: :session "!sh serviceuser"
     :END:

     #+begin_src shell
     systemctl --user daemon-reload
     #+end_src

     #+begin_src shell
     an other command
     #+end_src


Without a session, Org is executing the code in a non-interactive way
(bash -c), and the ".bashrc" file isn't loaded.

If an org babel session is not an option for you, you might consider
asking to the org mailing list, to have better answers from org experts
(as it looks like TRAMP is just doing what Org is asking for).

HTH,

Bruno
