so that the user can specify the log file path for the target workspace optionally, without publishing the Log File parameter in the target workspace. The parameter should be optional, and accept a constant, string expression, attribute value, and user parameter value.

What would be the benefit of having this option rather than just publishing the Log File parameter?
I don't think there is any benefit other than that the user does not need to create a published parameter linking to the Log File parameter any longer.

I think I would prefer an option to increment and/or timestamp the logfile name, without going through the effort of creating the logfile name for each trigger feature.
Would be useful, particularly for child workspaces. What about messages sent back to caller from Logs? Would that work for user-defined log files?

I've been using a scripted Tcl parameter to concatenate the name of the current child workspace, a user parameter, and the time stamp. e.g.
return [concat $FME_MacroValues(FME_MF_DIR)[file rootname $FME_MacroValues(FME_MF_NAME)].[file tail [file rootname $FME_MacroValues(SourceDataset_ESRISHAPE)]].[clock format [clock seconds] -format %Y%m%d%H%M -gmt false].log]FYI, this idea is related to FMEFORM-14577.
