Redis does not support indexes and all sorts of other things. It works well only for a specific kind of workload but isn’t as generic or flexible.

SSI gives you the performance of close to snapshot isolation with the safety of serializability. The lowest I would ever go is snapshot isolation and ideally SSI. Anything else I’d use an eventually consistent database instead because then there’s at least no pretense.
