Also note that ratelimit wouldn't have solved my issue either. It wasn't that systemd was rapidly spewing into the kernel buffers. It was doing it gradually, for every connection that I made to the box (lots of automated connections were also being logged). I believe something happened on Friday but due to all the unnecessary logging over the weekend, I lost it.
To make matters worse, I lost my /var/log/syslog data from then. logrotate was a bit more destructive than I expected.
