I've had a similar discussion in other projects (spice) and we decided on XDG_DATA_HOME there. Logs realyl don't belong in .cache, that is for volatile generated files which can be re-generated at will. IE sometimes users do rm -rf ~/.cache to trouble shoot some issues, you don't want that to blow away your logs.
