Every project I've worked in, got rid of mongo once they grew to any reasonable size due to cost and maintenance overhead. It's not a hindrance for small projects, but becomes a pain at scale in my experience. Based on that I'd never use it again for anything I plan to scale, gutting it out later is a pain. Might as well build it right the first time.
