json columns pretty much obviated the need for ORMs. It used to be that you'd sometimes have a deep nested thing you really only ever query all at once rather than in pieces, so you'd use an ORM to automate that, but now you can just shove it into json. And then use regular SQL for the relations you actually care about.
