What if I’m on another minimal distro, like Artix, that doesn’t use systemd? Journald is a systemd thing, and I’m not going to install systemd on top of a perfectly good init system.
Use whatever that distro recommends then - which as far as I can tell seems to be svlogd for runit based systems. Though you should consult their documentation and make your own decision on which logger to use.
You dont need syslog. Journald is good enough for most systems.
I also don’t like the duplication of logs in journald and syslog, so I always disable forwarding to syslog
