One caveat is when you have to upgrade across major database versions. The more your application utilises these features, the more you're likely to hit when next major version upgrade has to happen.

Not that major database versions are any simpler even if you just stick to CRUD for databases.



This is also true of upgrading dependencies in the application layer.

I mean, even LTS versions have EOL dates, so even at the least frequent, you'll need to do upgrades around every 5 years or so.
