With my Debian OpenStack package maintainer hat on: I will certainly ignore any backend that would be using MongoDB or InfluxDB, as these cannot be used without non-debian packages.
influxdb is mit licensed so im not sure why you would not be able to package or redistribute it in debian. [...]
And indeed, it's been packaged in Debian for years, and still is:
https://packages.debian.org/influxdb
The main concern about it is the open-core development model where "advanced" features like stability and redundancy require you to purchase their proprietary enterprise version instead of the less full-featured (but freely-licensed) community version:

I know several very large sites (ingesting billions of records per day) that run community InfluxDB and they get HA by putting influx-proxy [1] in front of it. I've evaluated it for large scale uses before as well, and with influx-proxy I found no need for the clustering option. Nate [1] https://github.com/shell909090/influx-proxy
