It is used as the database (and is a dependency for) graylog (which can be anything from a free syslog receiver/analyser to a full SIEM), and I know that it is under active development and has repositories for Debian at least.
A quick search and browse of their website soon turned up this:

They have a Suse 15 x64 rpm available for download, and I'm pretty sure they also have a zypper repo you can add...yes, here:

Packman has it. The issues I had with it as a dependency -- is it may or may not remain available. The AUR package published by polarean just went away, leaving all packages that depend on it in a lurch. openSUSE doesn't package it for the same reasons Arch doesn't package it and why it is in Packman and AUR. Given my experience with it, I always wondered why anyone would make it a dependency when MariaDB, PostgreSQL, DB or SQLite would suffice and not have the same issues. There is nothing wrong with mongodb itself, it's just the licensing and availability baggage that I see as a drawback. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
