What kind of filesystem is used for storing logs?

Also, I assume you use SLAB. It would be nice if you could try to
reproduce the issue with SLUB, because the latter exports information
about per memcg caches under /sys/kernel/slab/<cache-name>/cgroup. It
could shed the light on what kinds of objects are not freed after cgroup
destruction.

In case of SLAB you can try to monitor /proc/slabinfo to see which
caches are growing. Anyway, you'll probably have to turn off kmem cache
merging - see slab_nomerge boot options.
