What are the trade-offs of KSP-generated validation in Kotlin?

We are experimenting with a KSP-based approach to Kotlin validation where validation logic is generated during compilation and then executed at runtime.

But we wonder what their view is on this matter:

  • What do you see as the biggest advantages of generated validation compared with reflection-based approaches?
  • Where do you think the added KSP/build-time complexity becomes a disadvantage?
  • What would you expect from a production-ready Kotlin validation library?

We are mainly interested in the technical discussion and criticism.
