To be honest, I must say it looks very promising.

I'm aware of that, but we're still in very hectic times peforming some
fine-tuning work in or newly-inhabited house.

I agree.

FAQ says/recommends to use e.g. Django for Models - Django has nice &
very useful utility to inspect legacy database and import into its ORM.

Otoh,  one of the devs wrote on ml that he uses Storm, so, all in all,
having GNUmed's database scheme in some ORM does not sound so
bad. (despite being aware that attemmpt to move to SA is, afaik,
abandoned.)
