Is it good practice to run a system without a syslog daemon?

If I'm using Arch or another minimal distro, is it a good idea to install a syslog daemon? Or can I go without?

Not really trying to accomplish much, just trying to save a few seconds in the manual installation process.

If it’s a race from boot to login prompt then making sure the installer never has to dial out and retrieve packages would be a bigger savings. Making sure the installer is on the fastest bus possible would be huge too. I think one nvme installing to another one would be fastest (assuming enough lanes).

Don’t take the wheelie bars off your dragster to save weight, wheelies are slow.
