You dont need tunnel monitor to get ipsec vpn info from system logs. The only way system logs is not catching vpn logs is that the fw is not logging.

Curious what would happen if "fw is not logging", but you configure "Tunnel monitor" on the ipsec interface, would that generate a System log?

This is a nasty question, and that's right. You don't need Tunnel Monitoring for generating logs on regard of Ipsec VPN on System Monitor. There might be no more quota in the firewall left .

of course logging automatically happen, that is why an alert message is received for vpn down, but the question is asking "reason for cause" in other words, what cause the vpn connectivity to go down?

IPSec tunnel events will be logged in the system log regardless. Tunnel monitoring itself will also generate system logs, but has a specific use-case and it's absence doesn't explain the missing tunnel logs.
