For a customer with a Logstash server in place to collect syslog data, but planning shortly to acquire a DataMiner platform for management of the OTT playout, I am keen to learn our preferred set up forward to collect/store/search/query/display this kind of data (with or without the logstash server as present now).

I assume the customer wants DataMiner to offload its logging into the syslog server?
If so, DataMiner has no built-in capability to forward logging to central (sys)log servers. Next to this, the DataMiner logging format is not compliant with the syslog format.
I think the preferred solution is to create a driver that scans the DataMiner logging, reformats it into syslog format and then forwards it to the syslog server.
