journalctl gives pretty much exactly the same output as
/var/log/messages and so on. As a side-benefit, instead of using grep,
it indexes various things so you can more quickly filter.

For most use caes though, the switch is rather easy:
  journalctl | grep something
vs
  grep something /var/log/messages

and
  journalctl -f
vs
  tail -f /var/log/messages

So if you don't want to know anything, you don't need to know much.
Further, you can keep another syslog running.

In any case, journal is quite efficient.
