So what I want is something like Splunk search for traces. I want to be able to write 12-shareable lines of custom-query and immediately get a pretty graph of multidimensional data "What % of users who just registered this month got a 500 more than half the time on this specific path?" and I want it as a pretty graph over time

That's precisely what tools like Honeycomb and Lightstep offer. But most vendors don't have a traces-first approach to querying data.

Really? I haven't used honeycomb specifically, but you're saying it supports an arbitrarily complex query depth, with any number of joins essentially?
