Oh yeah, ORMs are by no means a silver bullet. Like you said, they are great for prototyping but they do tend to lag behind in making use of the more powerful and advanced features of most databases.

They also tend to primarily target SQL databases, its rare that I've found an ORM library for NoSQL databases like Mongo.
