Stable storage for conf info yes. Logging, or other excessive writes
to flash are generally a bad idea in embedded gear.

Traditionally openwrt writes to flash once or twice on boot (time,
only, I think), and then maybe once every 24 hours. All logging is
kept in a ring buffer in ram or sent to a log server. This is for very
good practical reasons (running out or wearing out flash is bad), that
are increasingly historical as flash sizes and life have grown.

How often will hncpd write to flash?
