Hey Justin, thanks for writing the article! I agree with you that there was a failure of evaluation, and that MongoDB has matured quite a bit since the NoSQL explosion.

Sorry if my comment came across as a criticism of your post. It was more targeted at the long threads of people bashing MongoDB, thinking the caveats are still relevant/accurate today. Because they really aren't – MongoDB is a completely valid choice of database today.

ACID transactions were added over a year ago, and Mongoose is almost as old as MongoDB itself.
