I don't know much about systemd, so I can't say either way.

So long as I can still get syslog style plain text logs, then I have no objections. Unix and text log parsing is unparalleled. If simple text log parsing and manipulation is removed (all binary with only xml or json), then I'd be very opposed to systemd.

The short story is systemd's logs are "binary", but they have tools to transform them into whatever plaintext format you like.
