It’s often more useful for minimal installations to keep the system log daemon running so that you can see when things happen and stop them from happening.

Especially now that even very low power embedded systems run multiple cpu cores at multi-ghz clocks, interface with gigabytes of memory, hundreds of gigabytes of attached storage and communicate through multi-gigabit network links, lots of stuff can be happening that is unwanted or simply unnecessary without any external indications.

What are you trying to accomplish by not running a syslog daemon?

If you’re on arch you use redhat’s garbage. On non-corpo linux syslog can be disabled if you want, though I’d prefer to just symlink/mount /var/log to a memory filesystem instead.

Whatever floats your boat, but if something goes wrong you don’t really have anything to figure out what’s going on.

You dont need syslog. Journald is good enough for most systems.
