That can't be, please post:
~# ls -A /var/log/tor
In general, everything is always written to /var/log/syslog & systemd-journald
to /var/log/journal (binaries).
~$ man journalctl

Read what _logrotate_ does. Every tor restart creates a new empty log file.

Why do you change security-related default settings? Default tor user is:
debian-tor. (On Debian and Ubuntu systems)

Why? You have a server in the data center. You only need forwarding on a
router! Packet forwarding is also disabled in /etc/sysctl.conf per default.
Your iptables must start like this.
*filter
:INPUT DROP [0:0]
:FORWARD DROP [0:0]
:OUTPUT ACCEPT [0:0]
...
-A INPUT -p tcp --dport <Your-Tor-ORPort> -j ACCEPT
...
No FORWARD, no OUTPUT rules.
