Yeah, your "uncheckable strings" (which could be checked by spinning up a testing database) is replaced by 700k lines of code that, although tested, is still full of bugs. The Hibernate repo is 700 thousand lines of java code! There's a tendency amongst some (especially "enterprise" programmers) to forget that dependencies are also just code. If they break, you are on the hook too. You own that complexity.
