medium term: better batching at the relayer level will probably avoid such issues without having to pay too much for gas

Yes, I can actually write code.

Using any blockchain "as a database" is I think an anti-pattern. There's a billion caveats here, e.g. "Well what if I am using a graph blockchain and get instant finality!!!" etc etc.

I think the main point here is that at minimum if you're putting all the data through global consensus its gonna be quite expensive.
