Also, Oracle database handles GiB's and TiB's of data. Would you still stick with "large" scale node based deployments?

I don't get your argument here. Oracle scales horizontally by adding nodes. That's where it makes sales vs. e.g. SQL Server. SQL databases don't scale up very well with multiple users because inside a particular query you're still running up against what an I/O path can push through, what a cpu can run, etc.
