Obviously, you don't need the model abstraction for any software, ever. It is just more or less suited for a domain.
And in this case, as would be obvious from thinking about it, the only part it's not suited for is the live syncing of the text edit on the frontend, which is one one small part of the whole.
Storing the text documents themselves in a relational database is itself a terrible idea.
It's not a bad idea, generally. it depends on the implementation. If you're updating it multiple times per second, then yes, it's a bad idea.
Now go check if they're doing it or you're just suggesting from the dunning kruger symptom.
