So relational data is hard but implementing appropriate consistency checks in your application is easy? Or do you just skip that second part and hope for the best?

imho, the second, except that some consistency is present ib document dbs: like in the order example, all order items will be within the document and wont be lost without losing the whole order.

no-one would ever use 'eventually consistent' databases for financial or trading data, i think. they're for higly scalable consumer web projects
