Not quite the same. I moved away from Django some years ago when I ran into a bug that I traced back to the Django ORM. At the time it was neither obvious to fix nor easy to replace the Django ORM with something like SQL Alchemy. It’s not necessarily about avoiding rewriting entirely, but rather minimizing the amount of rewrite required if you have to improve, change, or fix something. If your roadblock is in the framework, the bigger the framework, the more you have to rewrite.
