Why lose flexibility and switch to medium in the first place?

People use Medium because they want to be heard. Marketing is hard (although this author doesn't seem to have problems with that.)

Because when I switched to Medium my blog posts went from ~50 impressions to 1000+ impressions

Exposure.

Are you using a custom domain with Medium?

No I opted for no-domain because my articles can be sequestered to any publication where they will receive better exposure than if I had reserved it for my own.

I don't use medium, but also don't need much flexibility. The content is my focus and priority.
