Now T210206: Deprecate raw SQL conditions for IDatabase methods (select, insert, etc.) is mostly done, devs should start migrating their codebases away from building raw SQL.
See below as examples of adoption:

Also these regexes can migrate simple cases:
'([A-Za-z_\.]+) ?(=|!=|<|<=|>|>=) ?' . (\$db(?:r|w|))->addQuotes\( (.+?) \) to: $3->expr\( '$1', '$2', $4 \)
and
'([A-Za-z_\.]+) IS NULL OR ([A-Za-z_\.]+) ?(=|!=|<|<=|>|>=) ?' . (\$db(?:r|w|))->addQuotes\( (.+?) \) to: $4->expr( '$1', '=', null )->or\( '$2', '$3', $5 \)
