Yes, you can use journaling without using rbd-mirroring, but ...

... write ops are acked as soon as they are written to the in-memory
cache or, if disabled, when the backing image is updated. The journal
is not used to satisfy read-after-write requests, so we cannot ack a
write op until a read can safely (and consistently) be performed --
either from the in-memory cache or from the backing image.

I would have tried it but our cluster is still running RHCS 1.3. :-)

Hello,

Can we use rbd journaling without using rbd mirroring in Jewel ? So 
that we can set rbd journals on SSD pools and improve write IOPS on 
standard (no mirrored) RBD images.

Assuming IOs are acknowleged when written to the journal pool.

Everything I read regarding RBD journaling is related to RBD mirroring.
