Look in syslog-ng.conf:

unix-dgram("/run/systemd/journal/syslog");

That means, in its default configuration it requires systemd.

So you had been modifying it to work with initscripts? I see in syslog-ng's changelog that it tries to detect systemd at buildtime and creates the conf file accordingly. So basically it just tries to play nice with systemd and doesn't really require it.
