As a counterpoint to the article, I use loki, grafana, and promtail to manage logs for 5 hosts running a number of different services. I have had absolutely no issues for the last year. I haven't run into any of the issues the OP did. I suppose it's possible that he's running at a scale where certain problems happen that I won't see with my setup. But honestly I sort of assumed that if you are going to manage hundreds of machines you should probably look at the more scalable configurations anyway. But if you are just doing a handful of machines it's more than capable in the local store only version.
