What about other OSS project? It's also not easy to make Linux from scratch. Being OSS doesn't mean it will be single click to run your instance.

Linux doesn't really have to since 99% of users use distributions, not LFS.

And there's a difference between gratuitous (or almost gratuitous) dependencies and must have ones. From what I read in the other comments Neo4J doesn't feel like a must-have for this project.

Plus, to be honest, Mongo, Neo4J, Redis AND Elastic Search? That's got to be overkill :)
