<p dir="auto">Are there any past instances of features that haven't been implemented, or have been implemented with workarounds, because PostGIS wasn't available?</p>

<p dir="auto">I'd say the obvious use case is the /map endpoint. Sometimes way nodes a quite far apart. /map fails to return ways which are just crossing a bounding box, but don't have a single node inside. With PostGIS in place this wouldn't be much of an issue anymore. Today, some clients run multiple requests or try with bigger bounding boxes to mitigate the issue.</p>
