About the "as complex as you need": RLS can get slow very quickly for aggregate queries, and is hard to debug (since query planner doesn't work smoothly with RLS).

We have a dashboard that displays aggregated stats for our admin users, and we hit serious performance issues with ~600 users with our first implementation. This repo helped us: https://github.com/GaryAustin1/RLS-Performance

Thank you, that was really helpful and actionable: ex. I had stopped writing filters on queries recently if my RLS had it "built-in", easy to see now it's better for performance, and since it's better for safety anyway, why not do it?
