Correct. System logging is now to the systemd journal, accessible with the journalctl command. That command has lots of options to help search the log, like star and end time, unit to search for an a built in grep option.You mention syslog in "Cron - A Beginner's Guide". This file does not seem to exist on Bookworm.
If you want the syslog file as well, you can install a logging program like rsyslog.
