I made PeerDB and I think you should check it how it assures that things are denormalized in a reactive way.
Also, when denormalizing, I always use {_id: } objects, not directly IDs for references, so that it is easy to add more fields later on. So everything looks the same. I think it would be great if we would keep this the same and then it would be compatible.
I am planing on rewrite of PeerDB to be more ES6 friendly, but otherwise it already works for me great in production. So I think it is more or less what one needs, just without simple schema validation. That one is easier to add once you have everything else available already like in PeerDB.
BTW, PeerDB I think could be already integrated with SimpleSchema. It is orthogonal with it. It just does not support it. If you think there are some issues which are preventing you to use it, I can fix that, or feel free to make a pull request.
