When we call ceph-mon --mkfs a few lines above the file
/var/log/ceph/ceph-mon.$monid.log gets created with owner root:ceph. I
tried using --setuser=ceph instead, but that did not work out while this
approach does work.

It should be noted however that only the file mentioned above has the
wrong owner and that the chown calls above are a bit too greedy, however
this matches ceph-common post-install script better.
