PR Description
We see concerns about the resource consumption of Alloy in community slack/github somewhat often for users coming from promtail. Often these users are experiencing a limitation of the converter not converting with the context of the deployment environment (k8s daemonset) leading to Alloy doing a lot of duplicate work vs Promtail.
While it would be great to improve the converter, an initial step is to call out this limitation on the docs for converting from Promtail.
