This fits my experience with distributed MongoDB -- which I never tried to use beyond 1.8 or so. The moment you make a MongoDB distributed, you're putting an immutable schema on it.

Not literally immutable, because you can change it, but changing it is more difficult and more perilous than starting from scratch.

Wasn't the point of MongoDB was supposed to be that it's all flexible and schemaless? You might ask that. You might not get an answer. Like I said, I never use MongoDB as a distributed system anymore.
