Consider deprecating old helpers API

**Description**
Currently components lacks proper logging support.

**Proposed solution**
Add configurable logging with sensible defaults.

**Priority**: Low/Medium

Start by locating the components implementation, the old helpers API, and any existing logging entry points. Clarify whether deprecating the helpers API is part of this issue or whether the goal is configurable component logging. Done means logging is configurable and has sensible defaults, with the affected behavior covered by tests if the project has them.
