After several days now of playing and grinding (I shamelessly used the walkthroughs to help me make sure I didn't miss anything
), I believe I'm caught up to most of all the content available in v1.41. The only thing I'm lagging behind is having more children with Mia; I only have 1 child with 1 on the way on Day 187 and I believe the maximum is 6 children (yikes).
My quest journal looks like this:
I've completed all the quests that are shown to still be AVAILABLE (I refered this section as ACTIVE in my previous post - sorry for any possible confusion). And going by the walkthrough only 1 of the Side Quests (Cemetary Rumours) I can see not being complete since I took another route that didn't lead to receiving the monetary reward from the mayor.
I now understand that the journal doesn't not directly affect gameplay, but I thought to share what my journal was up to during my playthrough if it can be of any help in refining how the journal works in future revisions.
Thanks for the clarification

EDIT: For some additional information, here is the list of my COMPLETED quests from the same journal in the screenshot above:
