I still don't see how this makes it significantly more difficult to manage or revoke a JWT than a server-side session. For the session you remove it from the DB, and with a JWT you add it to a blacklist. About the same amount of effort from my perspective, and revokes are probably extremely rare by comparison to issues or validations of tokens/sessions...
