Yep, it can fall down if you force it everywhere. Read views are typically where custom "view models" are needed. For example on my current project with ~30 tab

Yep, it can fall down if you force it everywhere. Read views are typically where custom "view models" are needed. For example on my current project with ~30 tables/models (https://humancrm.io https://humancrm.io), there are only a couple custom user views, and a couple custom write functions to simplify the UI flow. The rest of the API is generated from the data models. I take a pragmatic approach and don't force everything into MDD if there is a clear need.
