Why not simply archive your binary input PVs?
All changes are then stored.

The message log is not a value log.
It's a log for application messages (warnings, errors)
or alarm system traffic.
You __could__ add all your binary input PVs to the alarm handler,
configure them to generate alarms on change-of-state,
and log the alarm traffic to the message log.
But I doubt that all your binary input state changes are useful alarms
where each one requires an operator to inspect the alarm, do something about it,
acknowledge it, ...
