The perspective I have in the post is that Multi-Paxos and Raft and so on are still doing pretty much exactly consensus for each log entry, they're just sharing lock IDs/ballots/terms across multiple log entries, and having the leader reuse the first phase -- acquiring the lock, reading the existing state -- across multiple instances of the second phase -- writing with the lock.
I think this is compatible with what you're saying, but maybe makes them seem more similar than treating them as two different problems.
