The approach I shared worked really well for the use case I had (API, read-heavy traffic load, and a solid experience in the mobile apps with retry logic for failed writes), but I certainly wouldn't treat it as a silver bullet.

I would want to test the end-user experience before using it in another app, especially one with very different usage patterns, but for this case it ended up being a great optimization between simplicity and robustness.
