I haven't actually used Timescale but it was on my list to try after various gripes with how InfluxDB worked and limitations on tags.

Broadly speaking I can say I'd trust TSDB over Influx for a lot of cases since it's using Postgres under the hood, and while I don't know precisely what issues we had adopting Influx, I know we had some as we 'scaled up' tho and that was when stuff like tag limits were brought up a lot (Interestingly, our app was 'barely passing' because we metric'd a lot but we also kept stuff just short enough for everyone to be OK with it, mostly because the metrics we got were very useful for things)
