3 is not quite true. tried deploying CE at scale at my last company, ran into a gnarly limit on concurrent connections the db cluster would handle. It was a hard coded, undocumented limit on the CE version.

not sure if this still exists. but it took some digging into the source, and monkey patching to fix.

Hod @ Couchbase here. EE would have had the same limits. If this is the limit I'm thinking of, it's there for a reason (defensive against malfunctioning implementations, and very rarely something that should be exceeded). It was increased at some point (not sure when). But CE is not crippled relative to EE.
