Declarative schemas structure/architecture/workflow, tips?

New to supabase and got some broader questions regarding project structure.

1. Is it worth the hassle to use the declarative schema functionality? There seems to be limitations with all the diff tools offered which would seem to make it a question of time before something goes wrong.
2. Is there a reasonably way to combine using the dashboard and declarative schemas?

does give you the changes you've made in the dashboard but it's in a quite unwieldy format. Is there a better workflow?
3. I've been programming for various platforms and languages for 15+ years but during all this time I've somehow avoided interfacing directly with SQL. Intuitively it makes sense to me that everything is defined in code for overview and portability. Should I throw this notion out the window? Due to the stateful nature of SQL/postgres there might not be as much value to that approach long term?
4. Any tips on reading or videos on architecture or workflows with supabase for a large(r) scale projects? ? I feel I'm quite past the entry level tutorials but haven't really found any good intermediate/expert resources that deals with overall architecture or workflows. Any tips?
