Apr 1, 2018 at 9:10 comment added S. Carnahan @DmitryVaintrob I agree completely with your comment, and I plan to rewrite my answer in a few days (unless someone else writes a correct answer, in which case I will delete this).
Mar 25, 2018 at 22:49 comment added Dmitry Vaintrob Sorry, after a little more thinking I ended up un-accepting this answer (based on Piotr's comment). The issue is that a family of constant $\mathbb{N}$-motives over a variety $X$ may not be (e.g. étale) locally constant, since it may be twisted by invertible functions on the base. As an example, if $L$ is a line bundle on $X$ and $X_L$ is the normal log structure on $X$ induced on $L$, its Kato-Nakayama space is the circle bundle associated to $L$, which remembers at least the Chern class (in Betti homology): something that can be nontrivial if $X$ is e.g. simply connected.
