IIRC ~2 decades ago we were dequeueing from JMS, updating RDBMS, and then enqueuing all under the cover of JTA (Java Transaction API) for atomic ops.

Using a very broad definition of ‘noSQL’ approach that would include solutions like Kafka, the issue becomes clear: A 2PC or ‘distributed transaction manager’ approach ala JTA comes with a performance/scalability cost — arguably a non-issue for most companies who don’t operate at LinkedIn scale (where Kafka was created).
