It’s surprising they don’t mention advantages over other sharding systems like Citus. Maybe it’s just the fact that it’s only a proxy and not core extensions? But that could limit capabilities.

We do, just buried deep in our blog: https://pgdog.dev/blog/pgdog-vs-citus
The same old processes vs. threads debate, plus having the ability to scale the coordinator past a single machine. So, if you're OLTP, definitely consider PgDog. OLAP - Citus still wins because of its advanced query engine. We'll get there.
Excellent article, this makes a lot of sense!
TLDR: Tokio concurrency > Process concurrency in OLTP.
