Use osmc with syslog

I’m trying to get caller if working on my voip line so it displays who is calling on kodi. I came across this thread below and was wondering instead of having a separate server for syslog i can just set it up on the device with osmc using apt-get.

Will this have any ill effects?

Unless rsyslog is compatible with Debian’s journal type logging used in systemd, then it will be of no use.
