The pagination con given in the article is wrong, switching to stream isn’t fixing the dropping issue, removing sorting is likely why no records are being dropped (you wouldn’t drop records using a numerical sorted ID or creation date)

Pagination is incredibly useful to human. If I tell you I found something on page 15 you can relate to it, something I cannot do with infinite scroll.

If a user has to go to page 15 to find something useful to them then I would argue that's a bigger failure of the UX/filtering than it is a success of pagination.
Books work this way. It’s a very relatable to very many people. Conversely, few people understand why they cannot just jump to page 15.
