A while back,
Cc: Vincent Whitchurch <vincent.whitchurch@...s.com>
proposed these patches:
      https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200825153338.17061-1-vincent.whitchurch@axis.com/

his approach adds a single flag, +x or (my pref) +T
which sends the pr_debug to tracefs, independent of +p.
Steve Rostedt offered feedback on one of the versions,
and one could read that as provisional acceptance.

Ive worked his patchset since, it is here:
https://github.com/jimc/linux/tree/dd-trc-11
(it has some unrelated bits too)

but it sits atop another patchset:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230911230838.14461-1-jim.cromie@gmail.com/
or for git remote add
https://github.com/jimc/linux/tree/dd-fix-5i


syslog and/or tracefs seems sufficient, do you have a 3rd destination ?

thanks
