I understand this thread is about dumping on ES... However, I must notice in your case it was an audit log. An ES system wouldn't work at all without access to events.

Yeah, the ES side of the system worked but was completely unnecessary. So loads of extra complexity, with no value for the business.

If the ES is "unnecessary", then it's not ES by definition. If events are not your source of truth, it's not event sourcing, just event logging.

I’m not sure what you mean. A car that sits in the driveway never being driven is still a car.

It's a cargo-cult car;)
