I know of several quilters who only do paper piecing [PP] because it works for them. No need to match seams, just plain 'ol sewing. So, if that is the way you want to go ... do it.
I personally prefer regular piecing and matching seams and such. I don't see why anyone would want to PP a log cabin block. But, that is just me being me.
If there is a LQS with a beginning class or a teaching guild near you, try it. Though be aware that not all quilting teachers are really good and you can get some misinformation.
