"systemd.show_status=true" modifies the status output, not the log.
Also on is the default and only overriden by "quiet".
"nosplash" disables all plymouth services, see
debian/patches/0005-cmdline.patch in the plymouth source.

Well, it would be nice if you tried to explain what you are trying to
accomplish or wanted to see.
systemd got two output mechanisms: status and log.
log goes to the journal, but can also go via kmsg and the console.
status is only active on boot, before the gettys are active and the
output is cleared.
