I'm always sensitive to this issue, because I've seen it happen too. Starlite (now Litestar) has fairly good escape hatches I think: you can convert a database model to an API model with a method call, but you can also modify and add fields, or create a totally separate representation, or return multiple database models from one API call. So far so good.
