Maybe javascript might not be the best choice in terms of high end/large databases. But it certainly is the best choice for web3 applications and lightweight nodejs software. There is also a golang edition of orbit-db.

The data is stored on IPFS primarily (Pick a number of different ipfs varieties, rust, golang, js). Oplog specific data is stored in a datastore-level instance, which utilizes c++ leveldown bindings. Code that is well tested and has never been proved to lose data due to being written in JS alone.
Aside from that the programming language does not determine whether a developer creates crappy code. The developer does, horrible, inefficient, bug filled code can exist in any number of languages. Its really a matter of preference.
Side note: I used to absolutely hate JS until a began programming in it for many months. Originally programming Java
