Even if you're running syslog on its own filesystem (I don't have a
spare filesystem to run syslog on), one logging system will cause
all logging systems to discard their messages. You'd need to run
each logging system on its own filesystem.
But most people don't run syslog on its own filesystem, so logging too
much causes other, unrelated programs to fail.
