Most of this counterpoint seems to revolve around the third-party library Mongoose. I'm not that deeply familiar with MongoDB first-hand. Is Mongoose something you can bring to bear as a plugin on the database server? Or is it strictly a client application library? Because to analogize to relational databases: * If you cite PL/SQL, T-SQL, PL/pgSQL, etc as solutions for SQL's shortcomings, then you have a point. * But if you point to JPA/Hibernate, Entity Framework, SQLAlchemy, or just raw hand-rolled application-tier logic, then that's no counterpoint at all. Because it means that only one client can safely use the database, and that assumption breaks down in the real world beyond the toy proof-of-concept stage.
