Am I the only one that bothered when tools like this do not give you some insight on resource consumption/limit?

Even if it's just parsing logs via sqlite, I still want to see the limitations and X per Y usage metrics to see if it can handle monitoring high traffic domain without impacting performance.

You're seriously bothered about the robustness of a 2 hour old project?
Well, if you're announcing a project that monitors a performance critical part of your infrastructure, it seems fairly appropriate to performance test your product.
There is a difference between a project and a product.
The performance impact really depend on your server and traffics. Currently with high traffic server it will take quite some amount of CPU if running for awhile, after 15-20 mins or so, but I'm working on reduce that. So now it mostly useful to know what's going on with your nginx at the moment but not over a long period.
You aren't the only one. I often am bothered by the limitations of my own project. I rarely need outsiders to point out the major issues because I know of so many myself. Some people consider it a talent to blurt out obvious observations though.
