This isn't how systemd works -- systemctl does *not* run any jobs by
itself, it just asks pid 1 [1] to run a job. Thus the stdout/err of
systemctl are completely irrelevant here.

To do what you want to do, don't put the code that you want to run
into a systemd unit, just run it straight away. Then you don't have
the indirection, and whatever you run will just output straight to
stdout/err.

[1] Or the user's systemd instance, but in this context it's really
the same thing
