For those still hosting websites themself, is there any modern web stats analyzer you could recommend? AWStats or Webalizer look so dated.

I've been using GoAccess because of this exact line of thinking (logs over js pixel tracker). GoAccess comes with a really nice TUI, a built-in web server, and can export to csv and other formats. It's pretty robust. You just pipe logs right into it and it starts crunching.
I had a manager ask to include Google Analytics on a government funded site a couple week ago.

Instead I sent nice HTML reports generated by GoAccess from access logs.

Highly recommend.

Somebody mentioned GoAccess. I haven't tried it but it looks good imo.
