What I had in mind was to trim the syslog handler out of the default weeutil.logger.LOGGING_STR, and, instead, put it in weewx.conf. You'd end up in the same place, but not without risk. The problem is that the installer would have to patch old weewx.conf files, inserting the syslog handler.
If this is a rare instance, and it does seem to be, then I'd prefer my workaround. I'd rather explain to Docker users who, by and large, are sophisticated, how to do this, than have the system log inexplicably disappear for less experienced users.
