The part about hashes showing changes that don't actually matter is so real. I've run into the same thing with tools that compare generated output. Getting a clean diff is harder than it looks.
The export-as-deployment-artifact model breaks the same way in a lot of stacks. Treating current state plus an event history as the source of truth makes diffs reviewable instead of just regenerated.

Dependency ordering gets tricky when a release changes both a view and the package it depends on. A diff can correctly detect both changes and still produce a broken deployment if it applies them in the wrong order. I’d want the pipeline to validate the dependency graph and test the generated deployment against a clean target schema, not just confirm that the exports look consistent.
