I'd personally like my ORMs (if I'm going to use them) to be closer and more explicit about the queries that I'm writing. ORMs tend to add a lot of complexity for very little benefit. SQLx is much closer to my cup of tea than Toasty.
Underlying DBs have different characteristics, so trying to make an abstraction layer for multiple dbs (including no-sql in the docs) means you are going to run into limitations and abstraction leaks that are hard to square. Correctly using the likes of Dynamodb is very different from correctly using postgres, for example.
