Rather than have logs encrypted, I would like them to WORK.
I still see the DHCP events and DDNS updates beside what you mentioned (restarts, admin logins, and NTP syncs). Try to do the following to get the logging to -somehow- "reset":
Under the Logs tab:
- Click "Apply"
- Click "Clear Log"
- Clear "Apply" again
I use this method to get the Logs to work everytime it stops emailing logs when full. :)
Still not logging. I did the "Apply, Clear, Apply" yesterday and just checked my log today:

i.e. in 21 hours, no NTP, no DHCP, no intrusion. Nada. Every box is checked. Orbi has been up for 27 days. (When I thought that Netgear Level II was going to call me about "testing the log files", I went into debug_htm, turned on "Start Debug Log Capture", restarted Orbi, collected a log file for 10 minutes, saved the debug log, unchecked the box, and restarted.)
Willing to try almost anything.
