IMHO it is worth to make access to the data using available tools
(database viewers, database backup tools, reporting engines, schema/data
migration tools, etc.) possible. If you do not, you have to write a
custom tool for the NGP model for each purpose.
I would expect such tools to work against the JCR interface instead of
any underlying persistence model. Note that architecturally I consider
the JCR API to be a parallel alternative to JDBC, not something you
necessarily build on top of JDBC.
