Aye yi yi, such much! My morning journal captures most of the information suggested by all of the options you list. The page on the right captures my daily gratitude, dreams, and task-related issues.
The page on the left I call My Book Report. It is covered with my writing/scene/research in progress for my next novel in script form and sometimes in cartoons.
Both pages are marked with starred items that get transferred into my old, old, old Franklin Planner that sits on my desk next to my computer. It holds my ongoing task lists.
Those two books, the morning journal and the Franklin Planner put me on overdrive according to some of my friends. I didn't even mention that I make frequent use of the calendar on my phone for daily reminders of everything from grocery needs, irregular expenditures, and notes about you JWs Substack posts!! That does it for me.
I think you've made great points ... one place (one journal) seldom serves all purposes ... and we have to make our journal(s) and organization systems fit our specific needs. Carry on!
I have a gardening journal that captures what's going on in my garden throughout the year. It's a reminder not to plant before Mother's Day for fear of frost, or to trim back my catmint after blooming. The cover is full of flowers, bright and cheery. 🌷🌼🌻

I don't have a journal but do have a diary which I write in each day
A diary is a form of journal ... good for you! Hope it brings you joy.
