Nope. They certainly make some big promises.

Something that makes it hard to compare databases is that they don't always
mean the same thing by "consistency". In NoSQL databases "consistency"
means that different copies of a single data record across distributed
nodes are consistent.  In traditional, non-distributed, transactional
databases, consistency refers to a collection of related records being
logically consistent.

It's worth noting that ZODB is even less scalable than relational databases
due to the way it maintains cache consistency.  ZODB database caches are
essentially database replicas. An object cache is maintained in a
point-in-time consistent state. To achieve this, the database is
essentially versioned. Each transaction has an id and ids are increasing
over time.  Assigning these ids requires a global lock.  So even writes to
unrelated data must be serialized.
