ORM is like C++. SQLAlchemy is the best ORM I know of. You can use it lightly and map tables, migrations, and never go deep into the ORM "problem". Saves you a lot of effort doing SQL push-ups. Many projects doing OO end up building a worse ORM from scratch eventually.

Sure, and lots of people end up implementing a lisp in C++. Doesn't necessarily mean they should just use a lisp instead. Usually it just means they should learn how to use their tools idiomatically.
