HAProxy is for TCP/HTTP and UNIX sockets as well: "…

This is alternative to the TCP listening port. Haproxy will then receive UNIX connections on the socket

Unfortunately Haproxy doesn't support udp load balancing. See this question for more details: udp traffic with Iperf for haproxy

Haproxy 2.3 allows proxying of syslog UDP. Thus one could bind an UDP socket only to proxy syslog.
