Some of the raft failure modes for CockroachDB suck to recover from. In testing I've had better results with Yugabyte. If licensing is such a big deal though, CockroachDB loses over Dgraph and Yugabyte.

I doubt anyone will really do anything worth-while in maintaining CockroachDB when it's latest version eventually does falls into Apache licensing.

Clock sync issues also sucked, we had a recurring issue which would cause the cluster to become unstable due to clock syncs and support would throw it in the to hard basket.
