See my other comment: log* only conquers the second level of Knuth arrows, e ↑↑ n. But you can easily generalize log* , in a way that mirrors the way Knuth arrows are constructed, and inverts them at any level.
Say
log*[1](n) = log(n)
log*[k](n) = 0 if n <= 1
= 1 + log*[k](log*[k-1](n)) if n > 1
Then the k-th level is the inverse of the k-th level Knuth arrows, e ↑^k n -- that is, e ↑↑..↑ n, with k arrows.
