I do like how the end to end pipeline is captured with ELTP. Conceptually I find it lighter than: ETL + Reverse ETL. While I might personally find modular ETL to be even lighter, that moniker is particular to myself and I wouldn't ask anyone else to take it up.

Regarding control, that's something I've never felt with production data. It's such a wild beast. Once the data leaves your team/code, all bets are off.
