We also maintain all our machines from in house built ports but I
must say in the 10 years I've never used find / grep on /var/db/pkg
to debug breaking port builds.

Everyone works differently, so we may be unique here, but surely if
the tools still exist to determine the issue e.g. sqlite queries,
along side the clear advantages the new storage brings, I'm not
sure what the issue is?
