For users to manipulate and fully utilize the journal remember to add those users to group ‘adm’ and/or ‘systemd-journal’. This also gives the user the ability to use the journalctl --vacuum.

It's possible on some system to remove rsyslog and logrotate packages since they are redundant. I have not completed a full audit of legacy programs that may still only use the old ways, but the journal is now capturing most things. apt/history would still be one reason to keep logrotate and on a few systems and I have that history years long and not really an issue.
@CwF any suggestion on how to carry out the audit of legacy programs that may still use the old way? It would be instructive to find that out.
