In my experience, when people use NoSQL because "the application is too complex for relational DBs" they tend to make a mess of it, NoSQL included. They usually end up reinventing the wheel and re-writing buggy versions of features a RDBMS would have given them natively.

Been there, done that, migrated everything back to Postgres and saw huge gains.
