I find the serverless offer a bit confusing. The price is a function of the maximum database size. A single SELECT can use a number of request units, for example. If the throughput is high enough, you could run out of request units and be throttled if you do not pay attention to how your database is used.
The closer they can make CockroachDB to being completely compatible with Postgres, the better. It's almost compatible, but not completely. If it was, it would be nice to just be able to use Postgres libraries without any fiddling.

It scales horizontally; survives disk, machine, rack, and even datacenter failures with minimal latency disruption and no manual intervention; supports strongly-consistent ACID transactions; and provides a familiar SQL API for structuring, manipulating, and querying data.

The initial setup and pricing could be improved.

Cockroach does not support all types of protocols. I need to improve it myself to support a CouchDB on my network.
We are looking for more features to support distributed high availability and geo-partitioning.
