It's all about trade offs. If you want full session management, not everything can be decentralized. People often say that JWT can't handle sessions at all so I am merely explaining that it actually can out-of-the-box and how to make it work.

Anyway, there is always a single point of failure somewhere. There's got to be something that authenticates users and creates tokens in the first place.
