Any good tool to make folder act as /dev/null?

For now I made rm -rf /logs and ln -s /dev/null /logs but it seems to misbehave. Someone say that i can mount that folder to RAM via fstab, but I think it is a “nuke against fly” method

Linking a path meant to be a folder to /dev/null (a file) is much more of a heavy-handed action than mounting a tmpfs onto the path. I’m not sure why you would describe it as a “nuke against fly”, this is literally why tmpfs exists.
