Isn't this the same compromise we would already have had to make if we just used postgres?

It's actually slightly better than a SQL database. If your master SQL database gets fried, there's a chance you could lose some data. Datomic's transactor only handles atomicity, not writes, so if the transactor dies, nothing written to the database will be lost.
