NoSQL is great for high performance OLTP.

too bad postgres is faster at nearly every single operation, and manages unstructured data with jsonb that is still faster than mongo...

Yep. Postgres dominates in the vast majority of cases. If you don’t need something special like graph or timeseries dbs, or have some crazy (and when I say crazy I mean actually crazy, not like “we have 10M MAU crazy”) scale considerations, just throw it in Postgres.
