This is bad design. It assumes that two completely unrelated classes
have the same function and it means the same. If it's indeed true, we
have a way to express it. It's called "interface". If it's not true, and
you are just duck-typing, you should not pretend you use strict types,
and drop types completely. You shouldn't try yo sit on both chairs at
the same time and pretend you're using strict typing while in fact
duck-typing.

And it would be completely wrong, abuse of typing. If you mean to say
"anything that has log method", you should either have interface or just
get rid of the strictness and duck-type it and rely on PHP to throw
exception if anything happens. Otherwise it is just a sloppy design.
