The ORM auto migration tools are a 100% a DX feature. Obviously any serious application will have complicated migrations that outgrow the generated sql; doesn't mean its not a nice to have feature for quick iteration.

I largely agree, but the cargo-culting around every migration operation being "reversible" suggests everyone isn't on the same page here. Too much straddling of the line (gulf) between DX tool and production data management tool.
