How often do people use Elasticsearch without Kibana? I would use something that empowers Kibana's amazingly powerful UI, but like you called out, that would need to be "binary" compatible since Kibana is expecting the Elasticsearch API.

Last place I worked used ES alone to power a complex search system. No Kibana. We were running about 100 instances with about a petabyte of data.

We're going the same route in my new place. If you want full text search with scalabilty and durability (and automated lifecycle management, these days) ES is still really the only game in town (not counting OpenSearch, as it's the same thing).
