I find that slightly revisionist though I suppose it depends on your definition of "early on".
To my recollection etcd had a very rough patch early on until they overhauled their raft sub-system. Hashicorp caught some flak at the time for giving the raft implementation a hard pass and writing their own. Go ecosystem fragmentation was particularly bad and a very hot topic at the time. I believe that etcd's new found stability and subsequent track record after the new implementation vindicated Hashicorp somewhat.
