I concur. We also saw an issue with journald missing whole hours of logs, randomly, on our embedded platform. Couldn't replace all of them with log files due to SSD degradation (we actually calculated it we were missing target device lifespan, this is not a consumer problem of course). Basically we added log files where we could, plus remote logs and left journald as-is, it can't be replaced and can't be fixed.
