Just a set of things too minor to move off of it but annoying enough to not want to start with it.

My list:

No `explain (analyze,buffers)`. Instant DDL has some warts (e.g. fk, metadata locks). Query planning bugs (actually... query planning in general is disappointing). Exiting the repl doesn't stop queries. Implicit type casting. Replication lag from large DDL (e.g. creating an index). Lack of two phase DDL (creating constraints NOT VALID and then VALIDATE later). Lack of extensions (e.g. pg_vector). No safe access to inspect buffer cache. AWS Aurora seems to only add shiny new things to Postgres. And more.

Again, none of this is quite enough to migrate off of it for an established system, but certainly enough to avoid it on a new project.
