The journal does not support encryption, and it does not disable collecting metadata implicitly. You may however turn off all storage by the journal by setting Storage=none in journald.conf. In that mode you may optionally connect another syslog daemon to it via ForwardToSyslog=yes, which implements the features you are looking for.
