RE: Create 12c or 18c database in traditional architecture

I argued for the single PDB database model so we could all get familiar with it but was outvoted so we went old school for our 12c databases.

Subject: Create 12c or 18c database in traditional architecture

When creating a 12c or 18c database without the multitenancy license, I can (1) create the database with one CDB and only one PDB, or (2) create the database in the traditional or non-CDB architecture. The advantage of (2) is possibly less buggy, less overhead (no mgmtdb on RAC for instance), and slightly easier management. But the disadvantage is that Oracle does not recommend it and that "(t)he non-CDB architecture was deprecated in Oracle Database 12c. It can be desupported and unavailable in a release after Oracle Database 19c."

Short of a formal survey, I'd like to know which option you all have chosen. Thank you!
