The baseline (reading as default configuration) is the only thing that counts? Then Postgres is unusable for any reasonably sized dataset.

Of course, so is Oracle, SQL Server, and every other database known to man.

You have to tailor the configuration of any database server to meet your needs. MySQL is no different in this regard.

My need is for a database that doesn't silently corrupt my data.

MySQL is different in this regard.
