It's potentially bad (log lines might be interleaved), depending on how
the service goes about writing to those logs.

That may be the best you can do, short of getting Apache to log
everything through one channel.  If a CustomLog could be made to
contain all the information sent to all the other logs, then you could
use /dev/null for all the others, and /dev/stdout for the CustomLog.
