The same recommendation still applies - use the integrated statistics services instead of statistic server.
I'm under the impression that for the error posted by the OP the statistics server was actually not causing the issue, but suffering a consequence of it.
Anyhow, I don't see any indication here that any other services or clients would be affected by this statistics server problem.
In case you cannot get headroom on the issue, the standard recommendation applies as well: open a support incident and have the support colleagues look into it.
