Django has strong conventions and best practices, which can be restrictive for developers who prefer more flexibility in their architecture and design choices.

While Django has made strides in supporting asynchronous programming (especially with Django 3.1+), it is not as inherently designed for async tasks as some other frameworks like FastAPI or Node.js.

The abstraction layers and built-in features can introduce performance overhead, particularly in applications that require high speed or handle a large number of requests.

Django’s “batteries-included” approach can lead to a monolithic architecture, making it challenging to break applications into microservices or smaller, more manageable components.

For beginners, the combination of Django’s conventions and its many built-in features can be overwhelming, leading to a steeper learning curve compared to simpler frameworks.
