My point of view (after 18 years of programming): DO use frameworks (compile-time checked queries if you can) but skip ORMs that hide/obfuscate SQL completely as it will result in slow queries, extra round-trips, etc

I don't even use frameworks. I want my SQL and my regular code to be as close as possible to make it easy to reason about. Like SQL directly inlined with my JS/Py function. Don't need to mentally translate from some query builder to SQL or deal with some native "model" object it converts into. Have never suffered from a wrong-type bug.
