You do understand that this:

size matters, when on 3G-internet. They have maybe 5-10gb p\m. depending on plan.
are directly contradicting: you first pump up the log size with "-x", but you actually want less data to transfer.
It sounds so, but without -x, journalctl is no better than rsyslog,
You cannot have both. Classic syslog didn't have "-x", only journalctl has. If you use it your log output becomes larger, but you think that's bad and prefer the size of classic syslog there? Then don't use this new feature!
Until such time, as there is a gui, can be installed or run from a live CD\DVD in rescue case
You can invoke it easily from a livecd. Just mount the journal directory, and invoke journalctl -D on it, and you see its contents, nicely interleaved.

auto-search for journal? What is that supposed to be?
it is for people to whom Terminal is where you get a train. Who can click a button and find it. (even young Linux users, can be point and click) My daughter is dyslexic, and blind in one eye. Explaining *.journal is beyond 55e13f347adb48f9b1089695da5080a7 is difficult at best.
I know that is a personal thing, but I have to think on behalf of other similar users.
compress journal for email,
Hmm? You can easily compress it on your own, exactly the same as for classic syslog.

Again back to my daughter. Who does not live with us. I tried explaining xarchiver :( Uncompressed logs come in fine.
