All you need is a little conversion function which takes a domain struct and converts it to a DB struct with tags (for example)? Unless it's a very complex entity multiple levels deep, I usually don't find it all that painful. What is it about DTO conversions that makes it painful for you? Being boilerplate, it's probably not very aesthetically looking, but it usually doesn't take more than a minute to write the conversion function.
