But that's true for any data store. This isn't any different. Nor is an RDBMS. They all need HA/replication. And that is rarely trivial.

Honestly, I think this is why managed/hosted solutions (AWS RDS for example) are so popular - they remove a large part of the complexity for you.

Not all data stores. You can go quite far with an out of the box Redis instance or even PostgreSQL. No fiddling needed unless you are in triple digit QPS ranges.
