I don't think there is any reason not to add something like that. As you
note, we already allow overriding the default for all of the log-family
commands. So doing it for individual ones is not a stretch.

(I'm not sure if you know, the first half of your suggestion is already
available as pretty.*, so this would just be adding log.format, etc, to
override format.pretty. Possibly your "format' is just a typo of
"pretty" there).
