Distributed databases are not easy. You can't simplify everything down to "has issues". Yes, I did read most Jepsen reports in detail, and struggled to understand everything.

Your second point seems to imply that everything has issues, so using MongoDB is fine. But there are various kinds of problems. Take a look at the report for RethinkDB, for example, and compare the issues found there to the MongoDB problems.
