Seems removing the explicit --logfile from the command line (both in
.init and .service) is a bad idea: inspircd would want to write to an
inaccessible file then, I gave up since adding --log-dir to ./configure
isn't sufficient.

So it seems easier to remove that from the configuration:

-
 <whowas groupsize="10"
         maxgroups="100000"
         maxkeep="3d">

At a first glance, this does the right thing. But might result in other
surprises.
