I mean is all this complexity really worth "I can send data to an untrusted client so that it can later send it back to me?" compared to just storing that data somewhere like Redis?

Then you have to provide a consistent view of the database across all server nodes, and the database updates need to propagate to all of your servers more quickly than the clients can issue requests. How complex is JWT compared to that?
He never said "back to me". Back to somewhere. That may or may not know that Redis exists.
