I think it'll be useful to have a Fluentd output plugin for Loki. Lots of people already have fluentd installs and sometimes even a complete pipeline with fluentd --> Kafka --> fluentd --> ELK and just having another output to Loki would help them use Loki without many changes.
We use promtail to tag the logs with the correct kubernetes labels but most people don't use kubernetes and still want to use Loki. While we can support Promtail for Kubernetes, I think it is best to just delegate everything else to fluentd.

We have been using fluent-bit, but it is the same use case

as fluentbit/fluentd support http, it should be easy to setup it.

I started to work on it in this repo
It's based on fluentd's http output plugin.
All contributions are welcome..
