I think that this can be achieved (apart from using /etc/netctl/hooks)
more elegantly by using systemd drop-ins:

# cat > /etc/systemd/system/netctl at .service.d/env.conf <<EOF
[Service]
Environment=...
EOF

# cat > /etc/systemd/system/netctl@$PROFILE.service.d/env.conf <<EOF
[Service]
Environment=...
EOF

Or, one can use systemctl(1) to invoke an editor on the right file:

# systemctl edit netctl at .service
<type in the above lines>

# systemctl edit netctl@$PROFILE.service
<type in the above lines>

Or, in the latter case, one can also use systemctl(1) to set the
environment non-interactively:

# systemctl set-property netctl@$PROFILE.service Environment=...
