The two extreme choices are:

1. Utterly give up on readable text log files and just use the
journald tools to examine logs.

2. Turn journald into nothing more than an agent to
forward logs to good old syslog via:

dnf install rsyslog logrotate (in case you don't already have them)

systemctl enable rsyslog.service

In /etc/systemd/journald.conf set:

Storage=none
ForwardToSyslog=yes

Create a file named /etc/rsyslog.d/sd-socket.conf that contains:

$AddUnixListenSocket /run/systemd/journal/syslog
