Actually fighting that idea of journalctl. OK, nice, new, complex, holistic...

There is usualy one need: to keep logs for certain amount of time (based on SLA, based on law, etc.) Looks to me that design focused to zillion switches how to influence/keep disk space, but how to achieve that I have 100% of time frame logged is not so easy. Shall I try to calculate disc space? Shall I rather put there all space to be sure?

From man: "...Normally, time-based deletion of old journal files should not be required as size-based deletion with options such as SystemMaxUse= should be sufficient to ensure that journal files do not grow without bounds..."

Looks like I am not normal ;-)
