You do not need a bouncer to connect to multiple servers on IRC. Any client will do that and have server lists ready for you to just check and join.

Now, you might want a bouncer to store messaged and logs when offline, but not to be able to connect to multiple servers. Logging is a basic feature in IRC.

I'm precisely speaking about seeing the logs when not connected. The sense of community on IRC is lower because you need to connect all the time and otherwise loose what everyone said.
