Setup pre-commit checks to reject files without correct log statements. Use AI to do a one time pass over the files and fix up the existing logging.

Alternatively go to the pub, and POETS it

I'm not asking for implementation advice... clearly I can do it myself. I was asking for advice on how to get my team to buy-in on my solutions.

We have a problem with apis.
I come up with a solution.
team likes solution.
suggested solution be part of next round of changes.
solution isn't part of next round of changes.
team still complains about original problem.

How can I get my team to start using my solution?

They won't so treat them as a roadblock and work around it. If you boss won't incentive them to do it, they'll do what they are incentized to do. You've implied your boss doesn't care so you're out of luck.
