We replaced it with a well formatted query that fit on half a page. When I switched the team to Java + JPA, we started writing our own queries if wasn't a simple CRUD and it has been wonderful for the entire team. I think it's easier to learn SQL than learn an abstraction of a DSL.

And SQL has been relevant for about half a century, odds are good you'll continue to find use for that knowledge for the remainder of your career.. Well worth the time investment.
