In the early tens we ran an engineering project to improve critical sections in applications using transactional memory. We had a PhD level intern applying our techniques to various open source projects. One target was MongoDB. After a few days of investigation of the Mongo source code, he had to give up because he couldn't even find the critical sections in the source. They had locking, but it was extremely convoluted.

So yes I would agree with that. Never use MongoDB.
