Yep, your assessment seems broadly accurate to me. I was going to suggest Cassandra until I saw it in the list. I'm {interested in/optimistic about} FoundationDB too, although haven't had a chance to use it in practice yet.

Out of curiosity: what would your preferred choice(s) be to fit these requirements using existing proprietary products?

From my research I think Cockroach, Yugabyte, and Scylla are all interesting and solid products depending on the exact API/guarantees you're looking for. For products I don't even have the option to self-host I think DynamoDB and Cloud Spanner are great products, probably among others.

Cool, thanks - yep, DynamoDB seems fairly reliable, and that's also good to hear another vote in support of Cloud Spanner.

Glad to have learned about rqlite from this thread as well.
