How inaccessible does this system makes the logs for day to day troubleshooting?

This doesn't encrypt the logs; it just signs them. You can still get at the logs just as easily.

you just have to use the systemd tools to deal with all of your logs.

or you can have systemd forward the logs to a standard syslog server, at which point I don't see much value in having systemd process the logs in the first place (rsyslog and syslog-ng both have the ability to gather the 'trusted properties' such as pid, etc nowdays, you don't need systemd for that)
