Frankly it sounds like you just don't need a relational database. Their whole selling point is the strong guarantees they provide about your data, and if you aren't using those then you're basically just writing files to disk in a very convoluted way.

You're absolutely right, I don't need a relational database. There are many use cases that don't need relations and avoiding the complexity introduced by RDBMS features I don't need is where NoSQL shines.
