Anyone had any negative experiences with a hybrid approach? ORM for simple CRUD operations and the rest with SQL? My only concern is that if the database would change, hand written queries would have to be adapted.

Boris, for the hybrid approach, organizing SQL in specific modules and using migration tools can significantly ease adapting to database changes. This strategy helps balance ORM simplicity for CRUD with SQL's flexibility for complex tasks.
