no PITB, but mostly just 'it's hassle' for the application server I literally don't need backups, just automated provisioning/docker container etc. Adding postgres then means I need full backups including PITB because I don't even want to lose an hours data.
Or use SQLite and your backups are literally a copy of a file.
You can abuse git for it if you really want to cut corners.
Only if you can freeze your application for that long, in which case your statement is true for all non-broken databases.
You can easily do consistent backup on live databases. There’s a backup command and API.

It only freezes your application if you've misconfigured it.
