Indeed, ERC does sync the log every time a message is sent or
text is received.

I've added some new options that will do what you want.  Set them both
to nil to get the desired behavior.

(erc-log-write-after-send): New option that determines whether the
log file will be written to after every sent message.

(erc-log-write-after-insert): New option that determines whether
the log file will be written to when new text is added to a logged
ERC buffer.

Also, you will probably want to make sure that both the
`erc-save-buffer-on-part' and `erc-save-queries-on-quit' options are
non-nil.
