Anytime anyone starts talking about using MySQL, I point them to this bug from 2011, never assigned, still not fixed:
https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=11472
Have fun with that, by the way.

Thankfully the point of this whole rewrite is to move everything to postgres eventually

I have some horror tales from Phuks too. I learned to hate mysql from the depths of my heart thanks to it.
Since day 1 we've been storing everything as utf-8, and everything worked fine and fancy. Until I discovered that mysql's utf-8 is not real utf-8 and it would break every fucking thing with some newer emojis...
Aight I said, then I have to convert every table from the utf8 to the utf8-that-actually-is-utf8 charset, easy peasy!
WELL NO. NOW YOUR WHOLE DATABASE IS CORRUPTED. WHEN YOU TRY TO DELETE IT MYSQL WILL SAY THAT IT DOES NOT EXIST, AND WHEN YOU TRY TO RE-CREATE IT MYSQL WILL SAY THAT IT ALREADY EXISTS. BECAUSE FUCK YOU.
