Thanks. Yes, looks like this fixes my issue.

I filled my disk, made sure that journald starts consuming 100% CPU.
Then replaced /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-journald with one built from
git, killed and the problem disappeared.

Well, any concrete ideas? Locking the user out of his/her own system
is the best way to become hated by sysadmins. I certainly don't want
to see journald on my servers until that's addressed.

Maybe a client-side timeout in libsystemd-journal? While that could
still effectively crash applications by slowing them down too much, at
least it's possible to log in to inspect and fix the issue.
