One of my main concerns with this is the potential for making a lot of separate calls to the DB for a complex data structure. Then again there are trade offs to any architecture.

Isn't the reverse true? If you make separate models for each query, the ORM knows exactly what data you need, so it can fetch it all as once. If you use generic models, the ORM needs to guess, and many revert to lazy loading if it's not sure (i.e. lots of queries).

That's at least my experience with SQLAlchemy, we put a lot of effort in to reduce those extra calls because we're using complex, generalized structures.
