Title: Account feature scaling?

Re: bitcoin cores account feature.

Many guides suggest that this does not scale well for larger uses. I.e. a few hundred or thousand accounts. Is this still the case?
Is it better to just exclusively use app database and ignore account feature?

The account feature in Bitcoin Core generally does not work the way most people seem to expect it to.  Most of the time you are much better off setting up your own account database.
