Big fan of this push back, because there are alot of projects that have that smell over engineering with the wrong base. (especially with vibecoding now) Thought there are use cases where some have lots of medium-sized data divided up. For compliance, I have a lot of reporting data split such that duckdb instances running in separate processes work amazing for us especially with lower complexity to other compute engines in that environment. If I wanted to move everything into somewhere a clickhouse/trino/databrick/etc would work well the compliance complexity skyrockets and makes it so we have to have perfect configs and tons of extra time invested to get the same devex
