Ooooh, I totally forgot to add your link, I remember you commenting, sorry! Will amend now. Ah I see, so your approach is using databases as an 'intermediate' layer, rather than the main source of 'truth'. My main objection to databases is the fricton with the maintenance and the speed of prototyping, but if it's automatic and used as a cache, I agree it's reasonable. Although I'd still be worried about normalising something wrong, but this is my personal sort of anxiety :) I've got something similar [0]: if you have a sequence of NamedTuples/dataclasses, you can get a database 'for free'.
