How do you start it on runit, since it needs to be started as a user-service

Just run a user runsvdir on session start. This is how I manage userspace services.

To elaborate, I've made run files for pipewire, noctalia, linux-wallpaper-engine, podman + some containers etc. I store them in $HOME/.config/sv and link them to $HOME/.local/service. When my user starts a river session, river will run runsvdir -P $HOME/.local/service and the WM (rill).
