I've worked for small shops, medium shops, and large shops; journaling
was used by all of them.

Wow, really? I've never worked in a shop that used journaling, except
when using HA solution like Mimix... Never been able to sell management
on the virtues of commitment control, either.... Or primary / foreign
key constraints...
Perhaps its just Texas, but if I had to guess, I'd say your experience
with journaling is not typical.
Every shop I've worked in has also used journaling -- Washington,
Alaska and California. In one case, journaling was used _because_ I
worked there and I had authority to set it up. Never needed to
convince anyone. (Note that this is _not_ the case for every site
that I've worked /with/!)
Also, in every site I can recall, journaling "saved the day" in at
least one instance. Sometimes it reversed actions that shouldn't
have been done; sometimes it merely gave indisputable evidence that
a given sequence of events happened.
The ability to wind things backwards can be a real stress reducer.
