Interesting. In my experience I found Metabase gets clunkier when you've to query for adhoc logs. However it's a great fit when it's just a template and all the end user has to do is to enter some variables to see the logs.
I think LogQL + Grafana UI is a pretty rich/interactive experience of viewing logs v/s Metabase.
I can easily colorize lines depending on log severity, filter by dates with a drop-down date selector UI, filter by each column value etc all in eye friendly manner.
