After having written queries to populate whatever platform data structures take the result...to mothership-sized ORMS that keep you as far away from SQL as possible, I have to say a middling ORM like Dapper is optimal for me.

It's lightweight when you want it to be, but if you want to do some heavier/generic use...it can take you quite far.

Seems reasonable.

A lot of ORMs are built in layers so you can use the foundational bits or the higher level bits at your discretion. Which is why I don't understand the binary argument. "It depends", but a lot of ORMs span the entire "It depends" spectrum..
