Honestly I've seen this debate several times using ORM vs Raw SQL.
I totally prefer to use Raw SQL because it feels like I have total control over my data queries and it makes me a better developer IMO. Using ORM is also a good thing on the other hand, it can boost your productivity, if there are new versions of database, ORM maintainers will do the compatibility to work on new versions. The thing is, what if they stop maintaining the ORM? Just a possibility that it can happen. Anyways it's team's choice. ✌️
