Using de.flapdoodle.embed.mongo not only for unittests ?

Hello,
in our software, we need to develop some datas persistence in Java (very small complexity and small volume). The data structure is compatible with document oriented principles. We do not want to manage a separate data server for such a small complexity/volume. So i am looking for embedded document database solutions (and if possible integrated with Spring Boot/Data).

The "de.flapdoodle.embed.mongo" is presented as "platform neutral way for running mongodb in unittests". Beyond unit tests, does it make sense to use "de.flapdoodle.embed.mongo" as a real deployed database, embedded within our java/spring code ?

Thanks in advance for your ideas.
Regards.
