> Durable Objects map well to use cases where there actually are documents

Right. I wouldn’t dispute this. This is akin to a file format from software back in the day (like say photoshop but now with multiplayer). What this means is that you get different compatibility boundaries and you relinquish centralized control and ability to do transparent migrations and analysis. For all intents and purposes, the documents should be more or less opaque and self-contained. I personally like this, but I also recognize that most web engineers of our current generation are not used to think in this disciplined and defensive way upfront.
