You don't need a CRDT to build a collaborative experience
> Opaque State: [...] You can’t inspect your model represented by the CRDT without using the CRDT library to decode the blob, and you can’t just store the underlying model state because the CRDT needs its change history also. You’re left with an opaque blob of data in your database.
As someone who works on a CRDT library with opaque state [1], I agree that this is a big barrier to adoption. Features like partial loading, per-paragraph permissions, and accept/reject suggestions seem pretty easy to implement if each text char is just a row in your server's DB, but I would have trouble implementing them on top of e.g. Yjs.
For text editing, one idea is to separate the CRDT "positions" from the text itself, which you can then store as a map (position -> char) in your own data structures. I've made a simple (but inefficient) library along these lines [2] and would be interested in ideas for further development.
