Using stderr rather than syslog should be a mild improvement with the
systemd journal. The reasons are detailed in the upstream commit
0c591cacba ("daemon: add --log-destination=(stderr|syslog|none)",
2018-02-04)¹:
The combination of --inetd with --log-destination=stderr is useful, for
instance, when running `git daemon` as an instanced systemd service
(with associated socket unit). In this case, log messages sent via
syslog are received by the journal daemon, but run the risk of being
processed at a time when the `git daemon` process has already exited
(especially if the process was very short-lived, e.g. due to client
error), so that the journal daemon can no longer read its cgroup and
attach the message to the correct systemd unit (see systemd/systemd#2913
[1]). Logging to stderr instead can solve this problem, because systemd
can connect stderr directly to the journal daemon, which then already
knows which unit is associated with this stream.

While here, wrap the git-daemon command line to improve readability.
