I remember people asked for this with journald and the response was to
somehow pipe the data from journald into syslogd and that would mirror
it.

 The journald config file already has options to mirror things to
syslog, and even not to write anything to the systemd journal files at
all
<https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/journald.conf.html>.
 

Also if entries are removed from the journal, a log on the remote system
could be added stating "this entry was deleted by ? on ?".  But maybe
the design makes this too hard.

 The file format is designed to be append-only, for obvious reasons.
But it’s easy enough to extract records and save them to a new
journal-format file
<https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/systemd-journal-remote.html>
(or some other format if you prefer).

On another computer. The original remains intact. Maybe you can play with that and somehow replace the original files. Not something I'm going to experiment with, I leave that to the OP.
