i agree, there's reputational impact but again it's the trade off that early adopters make and are fully aware of. When you're the first user of a brand new companies' database, you better bet there will still be kinks they're working through and let's face it you're the guinea pig. i'm sure mongo is thankful for all these guinea pigs because they helped to define the roadmap and iron out the bugs. however, in the end of the day 2009 version of a product is entirely different than 2020 version. there are endless analogies (facebook, google, etc.) the only difference with an open source technology is users can analyze it under a microscope.
