This is actually one of the main reasons I wanted to bring this up for discussion - will it be fine with the community to run a dedicated tool to reorder the logs offline?
I think it is a bad idea to log without ordering and later relying on an external tool to sort it. This is definitely not something I would want to do while doing test and development or debugging field issues. Structured logging is definitely useful for gathering statistics and post-processing to make reports and charts and what not, but from a debugging point of view, maintaining causality of messages and working with command line text editors and tools on log files is important IMO.
I had a similar concerns when brick multiplexing feature was developed where a single log file was used for logging all multiplexed bricks' logs. So much extra work to weed out messages of 99 processes to read the log of the 1 process you are interested in.
