I'm bearish on JWTs in many cases for reasons enumerated here and elsewhere.

But I do use them in one place with a revocation scheme similar to this. On init, instances build an in-memory bitwise blacklist that token IDs are checked against.

This arrangement probably already implies this, but just in case: this is at a very small scale where the complexity of pushing revocations isn't justifiable, power granted to the token-holder is limited and easy to clean up if misused, and revocations are so rare that restarting instances to update the blacklists is tolerable).
