Can you talk a little bit more about why server side logs aren't accurate for analytics? I was planning on doing basic analytics (pageviews mostly) using Cloudfront access logs stored in an S3 bucket and queried through Athena for a site I'm working on which uses the AWS stack.

I know Cloudfront logs can sometimes drop, but is there a more important reason you're talking about?

I think with server-side only is harder to filter bots, crawlers and get accurate bounce rates or session length times.
