Data consistency was solved in Mongo and DynamoDB years ago. CQRS is a better pattern. Read Models out of analytics (relational) data stores are better for dashboards. I stopped being "SQL First" ten years ago and never looked back. Saved clients time, money, and improved maintenance and eased feature additions.

It's sort of about your skills, if you are better at NoSQL then use that. But it doesn't mean that your experience is universal.

Relational databases are incredibly flexible even if you have a NoSQL mindset, you can do data modelling like that in Postgres too with jsonb data types.
