This thinking really intrigues me, as it seems like it fell out of fashion (at least for greenfield projects), but it might have a come back.

Could you share a few cases where it is better to use a custom type as opposed to a relation? The only things I can think of are generic things like uuid. Would there be a need to create an Employee type vs an Employee relation?

Also, how is the experience with using Python for stored procedures? One reason they are not used is that the language pl/sql is non-familiar to most. If anyone has any experience with that, could you share some of your thoughts?
