This is both error prone and utterly defeats the purpose. Why would I pay a bunch of money for somebody else to manage my logs when I'd just have to keep them all anyway so I can get at the unredacted versions when there's a problem?

Does the parser run on the client? If not, it defeats its own purpose.

Yes, on the client. See "Redaction" at scalyr.com/agent.
