>Redis, which I'd like to call the "original" key/value store
My old friend Memcached just came by and want to say Hello. He is still alive and kicking. Netflix has been treating him well.

I have been wondering for a long time if we will ever see Memcached 2.0 and MySQL 9.0

That's often a good choice!
A KVS can be arbitrarily horizontally scaleable. That might not sound necessary for a small project, but even there:
1. You can deal with big data (e.g. keystroke-level event data, etc.)
2. You don't have to worry about scaleability. It's one less thing to worry about.
3. You're set up for success if you take the unicorn route.
That's not memcached. I like memcached, but it's not the same as a KVS.
Forgot my dear buddy. Added it back.
