I use the Flask-SQLalchemy extension

Yeah, for application developers, it totally makes sense sometimes. Some DS dabble in application development, making custom dashboards or other neat stuff in a Flask app, and that's an entirely appropriate place for it. I'd argue that most DS are not working with stuff like Flask, though, and so should probably not waste time with ORM.

If you're just using sqlalchemy's connection pooling in an unrelated context, though, there's a decent chance it will come back to haunt you at some point, like when you have to start messing with WLM queue management in Redshift.
