it's not that "replication options just started to catch on" with postgresql, it was that when the postgresql team take something into core it has to be fully fleshed out and fully supported with no surprises.
And with that in mind, I would take the slow to deliver replication options postgresql supplies in base over the previous third-party options which where comparable to the built-in options in mysql... and I'd take it over mysql's built-in options.
and I've used both postgresql and mysql in highly transactional/reliable production environments for over 5 years.
