Cool stuff! Do you have any thoughts about how this compares to https://github.com/fabianlindfors/reshape?

Postgres schema changes are still a PITA
From what I know, there is only one project that tries something close to this: the relatively recent Reshape. It uses Postgres views to expose the two versions of the schema and triggers to upgrade/downgrade the new data. It doesn’t do the constraints part as described above, but shows that this approach is possible. Combined with the Xata pull request based workflow, I think the ideal system described above is possible!

Conceptually how do you handle deploys of SQL related things (table definition, scripts, stored procs etc) in a CI/CD way?
My idea is not unique. Reshape is similar, but bigger in scope.

The operational relational schema paradigm
This is precisely what I did for my automated zero-downtime migration tool and it works pretty well: https://github.com/fabianlindfors/reshape. At least for Postgres, simple views like these have almost no overhead as queries are simply rewritten for the underlying table.

Changing Tires at 100mph: A Guide to Zero Downtime Migrations
At least for Rails there are several gems available (ie https://github.com/WeTransfer/ghost_adapter or https://github.com/departurerb/departure) that seamlessly hook into the existing migration system and will run all eligible migrations through gh-ost or pt-osc as needed. You're right that it's not free but it isn't all that far off either.
That said, online schema migrations are a specialized tool designed for very big tables that take hours to run an ALTER TABLE on. If all your tables are small enough that alterations take less than a second or so, don't bother and just block the table for a bit. It's fine.

Database... or Goose?
https://github.com/WeTransfer/ghost_adapter integrates gh-ost with activerecord and the departure gem does the same but for pt-osc.
