You'd still have that ability with my suggestion, just keep validation mode
to NONE and set hibernate.validator.apply_to_ddl = true.

By "safest mode" above I meant CALLBACK is the right way if you really want
to make sure that lifecycle validation occurs, or you'll get an exception
if no BV provider is present. It can't happen that lifecycle validation
silently, unexpectedly doesn't happen. Hence I prefer it over AUTO. And as
things stand I can't benefit from constraints in DDL export in that case,
which is a pity.

But if thats now no longer valid then that changes things.
