There have been decades of attempts at databases with a different model than relational and we have seen what happened.
The reality is that a relational model is very well suited for general purpose databases. For specific needs you can use timeseries databases or key/value store, but at this point I seriously doubt that the Nth attempt of killing the relational model will succeed.
And honestly I prefer an enforced relational schema rather than an ungodly mess of schemaless documents.
