Developer here frim the Ruby world (although I wrote extensively Elixir and now Go). I can't even begin to describe the amount of damage ORMs repeatedly do (ActiveRecord being particularly magical). Our team writes sql rather than ORM and we have way less problems, not to mention we get better at SQL, so our team is also the one you refer to when you need to optimize things. We do use query builders when we need to, usually the scenario is: a form with incremental filtering (multiple conditions), but not a full fledged ORM.
