I'm in a similar situation: new project, CRDB is a good fit on paper, but I'm unable to get traction even for a proof of concept exercise because of the risk associated with a database backed by a startup. This is at a large, conservative, 300k+ employee company, so I guess it's understandable... but regrettable nonetheless.
