While I agree with some of the author's points, I think a critical piece of context is that Django migrations are designed for the 90% case - i.e., people who just want something to work on a small scale and don't need to worry about many aspects of the database yet.
Like all parts of Django, it's designed to be progressively ignorable if you need to, and even deliberately includes a way to run SQL migrations (as the author suggests) complete with state tracking and no need to write a separate script, and is the intended approach for larger teams/codebases like the ones I work on. Migrations isn't meant to only be "makemigrations" and the model-based approach; there's also an underlying SQL application and dependency ordering engine that can be used standalone.
