I have never had any issues like this, and the type safety provided by Kysely has saved me a lot of bugs and potentially very serious issues.

I've had issues when needing to use sql functions.

What issue? Kysely has an example to do this.

This was one of the problems I ran into https://github.com/kysely-org/kysely/issues/664, not being able to use functions inside onDuplicateKeyUpdate

Basically no ORM supports such specific functionality of a specific DBMS. In any case you'd have to use raw SQL. I don't see the problem, this is expected.

I don't see how not using Kysely would make it better overall - you simply write the raw SQL yourself as you would without it; but you gain so much type safety by using it.
