Is there any analytics kind of product that just pulls information from web server access logs?

There are lots of cases I can think of where I wouldn't be all that interested in gathering Google Analytics level data and would be fine with being able to do a bit of analysis about unique users and usage patterns. (beyond doing it myself with a log aggregator and creating my own dashboards)

Check out Logflare.

In either case, I'm building a cheaper and faster version of Fathom (http://sdan.io/pingpong). Currently I'm onboarding some customers. I'll try to see if I can incorporate web access logs as well.

Goaccess works this way.

Funny enough, Urchin was exactly this.

It still is. My personnal websites are on shared hosting at OVH. I get all the analytics I need from Urchin, free of charge, no client side js.

GoAccess (https://goaccess.io/) looks interesting, though I haven't had the chance to play with it yet.

GoAccess doesn't seem to have conversion funnel tracking. Or is available in some sub-feature or plugin?

You could LogStash your logs into ElasticSearch and then view them with Kibana. The ole ELK stack.
