It irks me that these "just use Postgres" posts only talk about feature sets with no discussion about operations, reliability, real scaling, or even just guard rails and opinions to deter you from making bad design decisions. The author writes about how three nine's is multiplied over several dependencies, but that's not how this shakes out in practice. Your relational database is typically far more vulnerable than distributed alternatives. "Just use Postgres" is fine advice but gets used as a crutch by companies who wind up building everything in-house for no good reason.
