Well that's a bad example as both images are already decently compressed (605KB). But IMGUR does have an "upload in high quality" setting that doesn't obliterate images > 5MB.
I always save my JPGs with 97% quality since that's the sweet spot for noticable artefacts for me. I checked that high quality upload button.

I did some testing now with uploading a 100% JPEG (~ 9 MB). Imgur will compress it down to ~900 kB which is noticeable. Then I uploaded a 97% JPEG (~ 4 MB) version of the original one and Imgur will save it too with ~ 4 MB. There's no noticeable flaw or any visible difference compared to the original 100% JPEG.

So I guess as long as the image stays under 5 MB in size it's OK to use imgur web sharing.

I would say that because of that size limit and the need to check an extra checkbox for high quality upload, the potential for user error with imgur is higher than the usual recommended hosts.
