I work on a database that is a KV-store if you squint enough and we're taking advantage of NVMe.

One thing they don't tell you about NVMe is you'll end up bottlenecked on CPU and memory bandwidth if you do it right. The problem is after eliminating all of the speed bumps in your IO pathway, you have a vertical performance mountain face to climb. People are just starting to run into these problems, so it's hard to say what the future holds. It's all very exciting.
