You can grep/sed/awk as much as you want. You just do it over the output of journalctl rather than teh file. That's not that big a difference.
One thing you have missed is how you edit the log file. There may be cases where you want to strip out log entries, eg. when a process has gone wild and swamped the useful messages with useless ones and you want to keep the useful ones and throw away the useless ones.
