Aha. That was the pointer I was looking for. Interestingly, this seems to happen "under the hood": the strings "systemd" and "journal" appear nowhere under /etc/syslog-ng nor in /etc/sysconfig/syslog.
At this point I'm going to make a note not to disable systemd-journald, nor to set its Storage=none, and leave it like Per said: "just works".
I think you should limit the size, because it uses tmpfs to store the temporary journal.
That's true, and tmpfs is backed by disk if I'm not mistaken. But also people should look at setting the various MaxLevel logging levels down in journals.conf. This might make more sense than tight limits. KDE is especially egregious at logging every little thing at the warning level. Almost none of that chatter is useful to anyone, and could go out at debug level, or even info. But the defaults are set such that all this chatter accumulates on disk.
