I wonder why you feel qualified to comment. :-/ I've only played briefly with systemd, and even I know that one still gets text logs in the default Debian configuration. Once I'm comfortable enough to start putting systemd on servers, I don't expect to be keeping syslog logs around though -- journalctl is clearly more useful. The way that vital information gets scattered around various files has always been a bit of a pain with *syslog. If you spend all day reading logs I'd imagine you'll be able to save yourself some time with journalctl -- you should try spinning up a VM with systemd and have play -- you might find you like it. Also, I'd suggest that you take rumours of the sky falling with a pinch of salt. Even if systemd is discovered to be the worst thing since the black death, it's going to be possible to avoid it in Jessie, and we have LTS now, so you've got many years to think about it, which will also be plenty of time to change direction, if that were to be necessary.
