As far as I'm aware, systemd pid 1 explicitly does not support any setup
other than "/run is a directory, /var/run is a symlink to /run", and
systemd-journald requires systemd pid 1.

Or does Ubuntu have some workaround to use systemd-journald in releases
older than the one in which you moved from Upstart to systemd as init?

The /run migration happened in sysvinit 2.88dsf-29 or earlier (2012)
so I would hope that any still-relevant system had this change long ago.
