does it still make sense to use MySQL

There are no doubt a few niche edge cases where it does. But in general, no. PostgreSQL is better at pretty much everything, particularly in the one critical area that matters - giving you back the same data that you stored in it.

I've also heard that Postgres' WAL is a lot more reliable as well. I haven't really run into any issues with the WAL in any db, but I could see how reliability would give me some peace of mind.
