How do I make the settings live (other than rebooting, which might hang
if there is a syntax error)?
I think this is one of those things that systemctl daemon-reload does.

So, it's a "soft" reload, essentially; taking changed configurations from
filesystem and regenerating dependency trees.

I know there's a way to confirm syntax, but I never remember what to search for
to rediscover.
STFW "reload journald.conf" I see:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/253203/how-to-tell-journald-to-re-read-its-configuration
Try a reload:
2023-03-02 15:50:15 root@laalaa ~
# systemctl reload systemd-journald
Failed to reload systemd-journald.service: Job type reload is not
applicable for unit systemd-journald.service.
Reading the above further, I see that the first answer, third comment,
shows the same result. The fourth comment links to:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/379288/reloading-systemd-journald-config
Reading that answer is not encouraging.
Oh, well. I guess I'll try a restart:
2023-03-02 15:52:49 root@laalaa ~
# systemctl restart systemd-journald
2023-03-02 16:05:08 root@laalaa ~
#
Looks okay (?).
Reboot.
Now I am wondering where to look for systemd errors (?). STFW "systemd
error message":
