Agreed, it's a trade-off I am ok with for now. In reality it's a very modular system, the telemetry repositories can be swapped out easily, I have implemented a clickhouse and a sqlite version (to simplify self hosting) so adding a loki like repository would be a breeze. It's not on the roadmap currently as I am putting a lot of effort into 3 diff parts rn. The truth is that Clickhouse is an incredible DB that scales really well for observability data.
