The upstream documentation is just the manpages: http://0pointer.de/public/systemd-man/ I'd suggest starting with section 7: bootup(7), daemon(7), kernel-command-line(7); and then possibly systemd(1), systemctl(1) and possibly systemd.special, systemd.service and systemd.exec.

The journal should pick up anything logged with syslog(), so syslog-ng should only be needed in case you want the text files in /var/log or if you want to use the network protocol. -t
