I think the value of always printing is shown in all how often
these lines appear in the list archive.

I don't see a problem with printing the same information in fewer number of lines though.
Our IOCs (with generated st.cmd) spit out around 200 lines of junk (commented out lines from chatty st.cmd snippet templates) before anything happens.
I always find it very useful to have a searchable tag that gets me to the moment when the IOC starts.
My favourite: One line printed per module linked into the IOC, so that you have a small table of "versions used" in the log - even when you're looking at old logs where issuing a "version" command should have been done months ago.
