I agree with many points, however, it depends on the abstraction that you need and the abstraction depends on the architecture you are adopting.
For example, if you are doing DDD and your repository implementation is about SQL, adding another layer of abstraction is not worth. But if your design is less sophisticated, or you are in an early stage of the project, you may find appealing to use that abstraction.
