I'd rather use something like Plausible Analytics behind my own domain than go to extra effort just to use Google.

This is also blocked by many lists. All I want is accurate reporting, so there's no incentive to go with that over Google, especially if Google can keep our data safer than Plausible can.

That's the problem, accurate visitor tracking wasn't on the web design goals.

But if you want an independent track to verify your JS report, the server logs have almost an almost completely disjunct set of problems.
