Was going to post a response to this, but you nailed it. Anecdotally, we moved off postgres because we could not hire (full time, contact, or consult) anyone who would be considered an expert at postgres replication, and the cost/benefit of switching off compared to growing such an expert favored switching off. Postgres is my go-to database where a regular backup, rather than warm/live replica, meets availability needs.
