Woah. Nice. I ended up with using Postgres and graphql, although I'm not working on the project anymore. The consultant was hell bent on using a cloud managed database such as RDS, and we had to use postgres.

That is a shame, the devs will have a hard time scaling and querying 4+ deep relationships.

I was in the opposite situation a few months back, as a consultant I recommended a Graph database for a similar project and they ended up using a SQL.
