If I can post my personal opinion as someone who uses H2 database since 4 
or 5 years now the main problem with H2 database is the corruption of the 
database which I experienced quite frequently even if I was always able to 
recover data with the Recovery tool.
The reason I still use H2 and thus the real thing which makes H2 a winning 
choice for my requirements is:

* Embeddable java database which just works with no installation
* possibility to run it as an embedded server and share it between multiple 
clients on a network

the two things above but mainly the second are the real deal with this 
database.
As you might have realized I use the options 
AUTO_SERVER=TRUE;AUTO_RECONNECT=TRUE; to share the database on a network 
between several machines. 

This thing very few databases can do and is what, in my opinion, makes H2 
relevant today with so many databases out there.

If someone doesn't need the two characteristics above, there are hordes of 
alternative databases like MySQL or MariaDB.

Hope my point of view can be helpful
