For this, it seems most appropriate to use the system's network filtering
tools to achieve access control.  Do we really want every application to
have to build it's own, differently broken version of access control?

On linux, I suggest ipchains for 2.2 and iptables for 2.4.

I must agree whole-heartedly that the documentation is useless for the
latest syslog-ng.  The only good reference seems to be the configuration
grammat in the source code.
