Since AWS DocumentDB only supports a subset of MongoDB, there is definitely going to be some incompatibility.

Take for example geoqueries:

curl -G -X GET \
  'http://localhost:1026/v2/entities' \
  -d 'type=Store' \
  -d 'georel=near;maxDistance:1500' \
  -d 'geometry=point' \
  -d 'coords=52.5162,13.3777'

Internally these rely on the MongoDB geospatial operations which are not currently supported: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/documentdb/latest/developerguide/mongo-apis.html#mongo-apis-geospatial

In my understanding, the IoT Agents are just using Mongo-DB as a simple memory store for mapping data so would not have any issues.
