Mongo is perfectly capable of point in time restores... in fact Mongo corp has a SaaS that does this... I know of several who have done the same on their own. There's been plenty of work in side-channel events with Mongo's log shipping system.
Perhaps you can point to a relatively simple walkthrough to setup PostgreSQL with plv8 for replication (with an easy promotion of a slave to master), that doesn't take a commercial support license...
Everything I've seen seems incredibly convoluted and more difficult than say MS-SQL, MongoDB, RethinkDB, ElasticSearch or several other databases at data replication and spinning up new nodes, or handling a primary failure.
Also, most of my work with Mongo has performed very well, if your data is a good fit, which I will admit it isn't all a good fit. Honestly, I'd rather use pgsql with plv8 over mongo, or elasticsearch, or ms/azure-sql... The support costs and my time are important to me, and better spent working on architecture or development. If I can make an operations level decision that works well enough, or is easier to scale then the development time is almost a wash.
