I wouldn't put MySQL near anything critical either, but I find it strange
that people are hung up on the "DB" being a point of failure, when we're
talking about asterisk here...  

Hello, asterisk and PostgreSQL aren't even on the same page in terms of
reliability and stability (yet)...

Asterisk is your most likely point of failure.  Sure, adding another point
of failure increases the chances of failure, but when the most likely
failure is orders of magnitude more likely, why are people harping on it so
much?
