Yeah this really isn't so true anymore. I was a diehard Dapper fan for a long time, but the performance of EF Core is comparable to Dapper now. Dropping down to SQL in EF Core is super easy and parameterized. I just don't even bother with Dapper anymore. I have an app with ~200k users with the slowest query being ~6ms and of 1000s of queries only 3 are hand rolled complicated SQL written for perf executed via EF Core.
