Summary:
I still suggest a heartbeat monitor and a modem.
A heartbeat monitor makes the system seriously more complicated and thus less
reliable.
If the proposed system boots from a non writable medium (yes there are flash
devices with a write-protect switch, CD-rom is also OK although dust
collection on the laser detector is an issue) and works in memory, diskless!,
unintended log events will be written to memory (that might overflow but who
cares for this application) and the system always boots the same after power up.
