I believe they are mentioning the fact that the server cannot unilaterally log the user out in a "naive" JWT-based implementation without storing and checking a token blocklist - which makes the session no longer stateless.

I can see that. I suppose when people say they need 'server-side session storage' I start thinking of app state, but in reality it could be as simple as storing a jwt refresh token that would be considered valid.
It matters in the context of folks that are trying to do a serverless architecture, sold on the idea that JWTs don’t require anything more than a function to issue auth
