Whats wrong with orm, jpa, hibernate and in-memory h2-db these days ?

There is no silver bullet. It's born in a world of single-instance big fat application servers. It hardly fits into a modern world of:

• functional programming: e.g. immutable threadsafe pojos / data classes
• CQRS and eventsourcing
• horizontal scaling of polyglot microservices
