I would suggest that something be PostgreSQL. With JSONB and and all the other goodies in version 10 they are too numerous to list there is no reason not to use it for 90% of apps. It WILL scale until you need something more specialized.
Postgres is far from a boring relational database. Don’t make the mistake of building a mvp on rickety stilts and then swap them out later for proper columns while trying to run.

Postgre will be good for 99.99% of all workloads. And when you need something else, you should have enough revenue to migrate the parts that make sense to a different datastore.
