Plenty of tools out here doing plain sql migrations with zero issues.
At my day job everyone gave up on attempting to use the awkward ORM dsl to do migrations and just writes the sql. It’s easier, and faster, and about a dozen times clearer.

Because it’s literally 1 minute, and it’s refreshingly simple. It’s like a little treat! An after dinner mint!
I jest, I’m not out here hand rolling all my stuff. I do often have semi-involved table designs that uphold quite a few constraints and “plain inserts” aren’t super common. Doing it in sql is only marginally more complex than the plain-inserts, but doing them with the ORM was nightmarish.
