Yup. One of our products was built on Firestore and I expect 90% of my time on that project is spent trying to turn Firestore into a more featureful product to meet the application's requirements. You can push it pretty far if you have the developer resources, but it often seems ludicrous that someone is willing to spend that much to build what other database solutions provide out of the box for free.

Firestore makes it easy to get productive quickly and then drive straight into quicksand.
Couldn’t have said it better myself.
