Are they really "needs" or "wants"? Do you really "need" asynchronous writes, for example?
Writing to the system log is relatively simple. Anything else using the log system, and you should keep in mind that you will probably have to completely rewrite it when you upgrade to Sierra, where there are issues even reading log files for non admin users.
