In my company, we are currently working on several projects backed by MongoDB. All of them do it successfully. Everybody I work with is really happy with MongoDB. I only know one user that thinks MongoDB has not a really good performance, why? He compares it with ElasticSearch in a strict search use case. As you can see, he is not making a good comparison. So, it's better to learn and test before saying uncertain phrases.

Do you guys have any whitepapers/engineering blog posts about using MongoDB? I'd really like some engineering insights into what access patterns are used in modern MongoDB based systems.
Also, regarding ES, its easy to see how each system prioritizes things. For me if I had to design a system today I'd use MongoDB as the main OLTP database, use ES for search (with regular jobs syncing data between Mongo and ES), and use Hadoop/Spark for analytics. Mongo is decent for OLAP loads but there's no point running OLAP queries on production OLTP stores.
