You are 100% correct about waiting for several years before using a new database product.

However, if you look at the path Cockroach is taking, they're doing all the right things to shave those years down. They already Jepsen themselves, and they've been doing rigorous testing forever now.

Very exciting.

It's still alive as an open source project, but probably less support now. https://github.com/rethinkdb/rethinkdb

RethinkDB still has a 2 year old critical memory leak that probably won't ever be fixed:
