I do work journaling too, but they're simply part of my journaling routine which encompasses much more than just a work log.
Primarily I use work log to document problems I am having, keeping track of contexts such as what page I last read, and keeping track of my time. Timestamping is a very useful tool to fight procrastination.
In other part of my life, I use journals for personal development and productivity in general, like writing down my problems and thinking about them. I often stumbled upon changes that I could implement or try. This allows me to achieve things that I haven't achieved before, such as putting actual effort in learning electronics. Daily habits and action items are tracked, including my prediction of how an action goes and what is the actual outcome.
So yeah, journaling is a very good practice. It doesn't seem to matter much how you use them, just that you use them. It's very good at stopping your ruminating and you can actually move forward with your thoughts.
