Relational databases may be ACID, but no, they do not "give us" ACID.

Take LMDB as an example. LMDB is a fast low-level KV storage engine. NoSQL here, but with full ACID semantics & usable as a backend for whichever DB flavor you so wish to implement. LumoSQL and the older sqlightning are sqlite implementations backed by LMDB.
