I am in a startup that's using Prisma and it we really wish we had not:

- The query objects can become hard to read with anything more or less complex.

- If you need an unsupported Postgres extension you are out of luck.

- One large file in a schema, impossible to shard.

- We have many apps in a monorepo and they cannot have separate prisma connections cause the schema gets baked into "@prisma/client"

Basically the only thing useful about it are the TS types which is something SQL-builder libraries solve better. Long story short, use Kysely, Prisma provides no value that I see.
