Synchronous replication was added in 9.1 and much improved in 9.6? pglogical[0] works pretty well for me under 10 but I have no production experience with bdr[1].

IMO, sure but it's far from seamless. (I also looked at pg's quorum commits, but the same applies.)

In general Postgres was not designed at its core for a distributed world. Even now, replication feels like an afterthought in the grand scheme of things, and sharding nonexistent without extensions.
