These moving parts require active understanding and maintenance, as they will change on each and every upgrade, which also requires manual upgrade steps and potential debugging on breaking changes

Maybe they won’t change or migrations will be backwards-compatible. We don’t know that in general. Pretty sure all the software installed on my PC uses numerous databases. But somehow I never upgraded them manually. I find the root position overdefensive at best.

If it were a specific criticism, fine. But it uses lots of assumptions as far as I can tell, cause it references no mds, configs, migrations, etc. It only projects a general idea about issues someone had at their org in some situation. This whole “moving parts” idiom is management speak. You either see a specific problem with a specific setup, or have to look inside to see it. Everything else is fortune telling.
