After studying more about virtual finite state machines I would say that these patterns that are "good"(citation needed) for distributed systems are just specific instances of something more generic.
I mean, they do work, but they are not as general as they could be, they are specific cases of a more general pattern.
I don't think the author missed "point about Redux being an event store", that point is actually irrelevant for understanding FSMs as they are the more general case, which was the entire point of the article, and I don't think the poster is wrong.

This is what's causing the clash, you are doing something like bottom-up, when the reasoning was top-down.
