You make a good counterpoint: it's awesome that this can be done concisely enough these days to fit in a hobby blog post. That's new and demonstrates the approachability of these tools.

I've seen plenty of bs fragile ducktape databases. Some of them exist because because someone wanted to hand-roll everything. And some exist because they were afraid to invent anything and ended up hacking together a bunch of garbage MySQL nodes. Because they didn't want "reinvent the wheel". Specifics matter!
