Logs are written to both the journal and /var/log/ I would argue that logs are less annoying to manage on systems with journald, once you take the time to learn how to leverage the tools. I would also argue that shipping mission-critical logs off-server is a worthy endeavor, regardless of logging system used. I like journald because it lets me isolate logs for a particular unit without grepping and accidentally including output from unrelated services. It's faster to find the data that I need between time ranges rather than manually comparing time stamps. I can count on one finger the number of times the journal has been corrupted on the servers that I manage, and it was because of hardware failure.
