The idea of active-active is too seductive compared to how hard learning distributed systems is.

It is so seductive that people don’t read the footnotes that explain that active-active does not do what they think it does.

I'd agree. There's so many footguns involved in multi-master setups, that most organisations should avoid this until they're big enough to hire distributed systems engineers to design a proper solution for the company. I personally don't love any of the Postgres multi-master solutions.

You can scale surprisingly far on a single-master Postgres with read replicas.
