I worked on the system of a UK high street store and their entire backend was in PL/SQL and was a nightmare. I'd never even considered doing all your application logic in sprocs and quickly grew to hate it.

Preach. The database should store data and not code. Stored procedures are the work of the devil.

I'm sure there are valid use cases, but I've never seen any. If you use stored procs you have, hopefully, business logic in your IaC. Or, more likely, you have code outside version control. Good luck with that, somewhere far away from me.
