You're right for pointing out that some elements of a relational database can be emulated in a non relational one, like Mongodb. The in-python joins sound s bit scary though.
However I would argue that if you find yourself needing such things your data is relational, and therefore a relational database is perhaps a better fit than a non relational one.

Simultaneously I would like to comment on some conceptions regarding using MongoDB. Its not accurate to state that relational joins cannot happen in MongoDB. It can be done at the application level. LEFT JOIN and INNER JOIN. A detailed description <https://nesdis.github.io/djongo/integrating-django-with-mongodb/> of this is available. Admin modules rely heavily on SQL, So cannot be ported to MongoDB. But admin porting to MongoDB is working successfully in djongo.
