| Is it a consensus best practice to restrict read access of
| syslog/operlog data to those people with a need-to-know?

It is not, not least because the question itself is not well-formed.
Need-to-know is a useful notion for highly sensitive information that
lends itself to misuse in the wrong hands.

For syslog/.operlog the operative question should instead be:

Who, if anyone, needs to be prevented from accessing this information?

The answer will then usually be no minimally qualified user.
