The two big issues I always had with ORMs are automatic joins and inheritance.

I‘m probably just not knowledgable enough on how to use e.g. Hibernate „correctly“ but modeling any entity with inheritance was a recipe for disaster at some point. Also Collections and Hibernate were an incredible pain.

DB stuff is not the thing I‘m very good at (as probably gleaned from my comment) but even pretty basic stuff kind of fell apart pretty fast at any sort of non-hobby scale. At the same time I dread handling transactions and de/serialization more manually…
