There are specific cases where a non SQL database is better. Chances are if you haven't hit problems you can't solve with an SQL database you should be using an SQL database. Postgres is amazing and free why would you use anything else.

Time series is one. Consider an application with 1000 time series, 1 hosts, and 1000 RPS. You are trivially looking at 1M writes per second per host. This usually requires something more than "[just] using a RDBMS".
