Consulting Wikipedia and the SQLAlchemy documentation, READ UNCOMMITTED might be the right choice for CrateDB?

Typical PostgreSQL drivers in Java (JDBC) and Python offer the same quartet, and Apache Spark additionally seems to provide NONE.
So, I guess using READ UNCOMMITTED as the default and single valid choice for CrateDB is the right way to resolve the situation?

It looks like specifically for SQLAlchemy, AUTOCOMMIT seems to be more appropriate.
SQLAlchemy treats the concept of “autocommit” like any other isolation level; in that it is an isolation level that loses not only “read committed” but also loses atomicity. [...] This usually means that the typical DBAPI behavior of emitting
BEGINto the database automatically no longer occurs.

This was needed for unlocking mcp-alchemy, because it called
set_isolation_level()on the dialect instance.References
