Wouldn't that kind of defeat the purpose of using a document database in the first place?

Yes. Use the right tool for the job.

Defining 'right', and being able to predict 'right' for future iterations/versions of an app's life is where that mantra seems to fall down.

I'm not a huge nosql fan right now, given that I sometimes need document-style schemaless data storage, but I always (eventually) need adhoc reporting and relational querying capabilities on projects. With that (fore)knowledge, I may as well always choose a relational db.
