pgpool-II may do what you want. Lots of people use it.
I don't think pgpool adds the lost node on its own (once the node is live or available again). Plus if you have a 3 node replication you need to have your own failover_command (as a shell script) which changes the master node for 2nd secondary when one of the secondary servers decides to be promoted to primary). I hope things will get easy with version 9.4 (I guess in 9.4 one won't have to rebuild a master node from backup. if the wal files are available it will just roll forward).

Mongo's data guarantees are, um, somewhat less robust than
PostgreSQL's.
I don't think this has anything to do with data reliability or ACID property (if that is what you are referring to).
Failover is easy if you don't have to be exactly right.
IMHO That's not a fair point. PostgreSQL supports sync replication (as well as async) and does that complicate the failover process or an async replication? I guess what he is asking for is automation of whatever feature PostgreSQL already supports.
