Yeah, there was a lengthy discussion about what the default behavior should be during development. Ultimately, inline by default prevailed, and I think it was the right decision. Inlining seems like the right choice for vast majority of cases, but yeah - there are cases where enforcing materialization is a win. Once you try this on your application, it'd be interesting to share some stats about the queries / CTEs that benefited from materialization. That might be quite useful for improving the "materialize vs. inline" logic in future releases.
