The ORM Debate Still Rages On

Use an ORM for CRUD, and use a SQL library (like Jooq or QueryDSL for Java) for custom querying

Exactly. Everyone wants a perfect solution for multiple use cases and that simply doesn't exist. Use what works for the task at hand.

For example, Laravel's Eloquent database layer is awesome for the 95% use case. When stuff gets complicated I can drop down to the query builder or raw SQL if things get real hairy.

That's pretty much what I do.
