There are most probably a lot of pitfalls. How is the schedule for your
project? If it's not too tight, we could surely try DBAL out on DB2 (I
haven't done this so far). Then  we'll know more about the pitfalls.
Extensions (especially those not yet using DBAL) would need to be adapted
independently.

If the schedule is tight, go for MySQL, there's not much to loose.
