Thoughts about switching from sqlx to tokio_postgres?

For me, tokio_postgres has never seemed like a drop-in replacement for sqlx. It just feels lower-level and it requires a bit more boilerplate to use. But I've been experimenting with Cornucopia as a layer on top of tokio_postgres and I think I like that workflow better than sqlx.

I'm developing a Rust web server backend in Axum that uses Postgres and performance will be pretty important since I plan to run it on one server for as long as possible. It seems like the postgres crate is about 2x faster than sqlx, and the postgres repository seems pretty active still.

Sqlx on the other hand seems to have slowed down a bit, with most commits happening back in September of last year. Also, apparently the next version (0.7) was already "taking longer than expected" almost 2 years ago, and still has not released.
