AFAIK, netctl doesn't call this.

So, what exactly is your question?

Systemd looks and doesn't find eth0, which is correct since your interface is
ens3. In your /etc/systemd/system there should be a .service file which netctl
created when you enabled the profile. I bet that unit is the culprit.

Just FYI, hiding IP and MAC addresses is kinda silly...
