I'm not a professional sysadmin (at least not at your level) seriously curious why a binary log is so bad. I guess in big deployment logs are collected to a central location, so I don't understand the "corruption" issue many people usually raise. Also, what's so bad about coredumps? You can disable storing them in the journal, discarding them or saving them in a separate location (which is the default). Where coredumps are rare (which I guess it's the case in most of the deployments) it seem nice having a clean, standardized way to manage them.
