Are there any all-in-one-ish solutions that attempt to do both?

i.e. collects both (or one of either) server logs and client side analytics, normalize them, etc.

Matomo does provide an alternative to leverage web server log files (beyond the usual client side javascript)...using a python script: https://matomo.org/faq/log-analytics-tool/

When i first migrated (my personal sites) away from GA, i was concerned about performance, so was considering using server logs, and stumbled upon this feature of matomo. The javascript approach ended up not being the performance issue that i thought it would be...so i never ended up using the python script...So your mileage may vary, but to your question, this does exist.
