If I am following this thread correctly, journald seems to be currently a binary format. I don't know much, but I do know that from experience binary files require additional support. i.e. more documentation, interpreters, format control, etc.
Also one of the things we (linux folk) decry about most proprietary packages is in fact the arbitrary encoding of information in proprietary formats. Add in the fact that storage is relatively cheap today, and it would seem that having all logs in text to simplify reading, access, support and legacy storage would be most desirable. Additionally text logs compress nicely for archival storage. I do hope you consider these points in the process.
