ProtectHostname= turns off hostname change propagation from host to service. This means for services that care about the hostname and need to be able to notice changes to it it's not suitable (though it is useful for most other cases still). Let's turn it off hence for journald (which logs the current hostname) for networkd (which optionally sends the current hostname to dhcp servers) and resolved (which announces the current hostname via llmnr/mdns).
