Not sure about that. If all logging did were to pass the path to lower levels such as open or abspath, that may be true. However, some handlers do path computations (e.g. the rotating file handlers) and so logging would need to have a minimal awareness of PEP 519 or else call str() on any putative filename passed in, and be completely unaware of it (assuming that str() on a Path would return the same as __fspath__().
