For API though, it should probably just work - but then again, there’s tons of stuff like Django REST Framework which, while also a bit dated, works really well in 95% of cases (and lets you handle the other 5%).
Yet here I am, writing CRUD endpoints by hand in Node.js...
Yep I agree, that "20%" UI is mostly custom view-models to give the right UX. MDD is great for development, but users' brains don't exactly fit the model perfectly, particularly for read views. For write functions however, the views just post almost entirely to the generated API.
