A real-life situation I ran into:

3) Take a copy of the data store offline, and later merge it back into the online database

Manually resolving conflicts is fine. The alternative is to rebuild a system on Couchbase/pouchdb, or rewrite on event sourcing, neither of which - when the system otherwise lends itself to RDBMS - is my choice.

Does the OP support merging? I didn’t see that.

No it doesn't, which seems to eliminate a lot of use cases. Merging is listed in the nice-to-have-in-the-future section.
