In my (minor) experience Timescale works fine. The developer experience is good and it is very convenient to be able to JOIN against your hypertables. My only real complaints are operational (no logical replication, normal postgres update complaints), but man Clickhouse is really slick. I wrote some small reviews of the two in my submission history if you want a bit more detail.
Worked on peerdb. If you're able to batch changes on your end & push to both postgres & clickhouse, do that. Only move to peerdb when you know you need cdc
I know I know. Some people have loved it as it captures what it does (peering dbs) and some haven't because of the exact reason you called out. So we get it! :)
