Package Drone is partly written in Java 8 and it does use Java 8 features and APIs. Why? Well because this was some motivation to create this project, to try out Java 8 in a more productive scenario. In short: because it is cool and we can 😉
Starting with Package Drone 0.5.0 the situation has improved. Thanks to help from @CptMauli there is now support for PostgreSQL. However, PostgreSQL suffers from the same problem that MySQL does. Reading out a BLOB from the database fills the memory on the client side and may cause "out of memory" situations.
Still PostgreSQL is recommended over MySQL since it performs better in most ways.

Adding a new database to the setup costs time. Time is money. Money is rare.
Currently we are using Package Drone with MySQL/Maria DB and PostgreSQL, so that works for us. If you want a different database you can still contribute 😉
