Yes. It is so easy to bring up a mongo cluster and feel like you have HA. Don't worry it won't be proven wrong until you have writes during your cluster degradation and are unlucky.

it works. 4.0 gives you transactions.

it's pretty great.

and, most importantly, as far as I know the default replica set config is safe. (durable, consistent, atomic) it handles a lot of failover scenarios for you automatically. and you have to manually intervene to get into a bad state - which might be okay for that particular business case (better than full downtime)
