Status update for the full database driver for MongoDB:
1. The is a proof-of-concept site running Drupal on MongoDB at: https://gitlab.com/daffie/mongodb867. It is a Drupal 8.6.7 site with PHP 7.2 and an older MongoDB version. It works in that you can do a Drupal site install and you can do some basic stuff.
2. I have worked for the last 3 years on getting contrib database driver support in Drupal core much better. It is now at a level that it is good enough for a contrib database driver for MongoDB.My plan for the coming 6-12 months is to update the MongoDB database driver to a point that is good enough to run a simple Drupal on MongoDB site. That will be a Drupal site that will be ONLY using MongoDB as its database. No relational database is necessary. All entity data will be stored in MongoDB's document storage. All entity data for a single entity instance, including translations, revisons and field data will be stored in a single document/JSON object. In MongoDB JSON objects are called documents.
After that I am looking for a project that is much larger to show of that with Drupal on MongoDB you can do much larger projects that are not possible on a relational database like MySQL, MariaDB or PostgreSQL.
