Confidentiality, regulatory compliance, schema modeling (IDLs?), query load balancing (rpc infra) and operational tooling pretty good in my world now (Solana). Throughout and latency decent now (400ms conf, couple second finality, 4k tps) but obviously the type of system that needs a trustless immutable database has tradeoffs.

How easily can you write a crud system? No clue that’s on you. A line of business service? Why the hell would that need a trustless immutable ledger. You’re barking up the wrong tree. Low level financial systems are pretty much the only thing that benefits. Small niche for proof of existence perhaps. And maybe other immutable use case things.
