I literally cannot work with Firestore without seed data in json. I lose track of fields almost immediately, otherwise. How does Firestore scale to large teams? Do you end up with a ton of spaghetti checking if slight variations of field names exist?

I can already imagine a persons whole job being chasing down teams trying to standardize field names

I feel like a lot of teams start loose and fast with Firestore and then find themselves in a pickle as soon as they start growing a team. What fields does this collection have? Who knows, better iterate over every single item just to figure that out ☠️ No, the only answer is a strict contract
