Your comment made me read the article and I find the article’s language sufficiently abstract by say things like “many NoSQL databases”, etc

Perhaps your comment was meant to say that in general talking about tradeoffs can fall into that trap, but the article here looks like a good discussion

I'd say it's more vague than abstract.

For example, what dbs is the author referring to when saying things like "NoSQL databases generally make tradeoffs around these guarantees." when referring to ACID?

This seems to be an outdated view. These days, all major NoSQL databases offer transactions with ACID guarantees.
