Does the application include UDF's that go back into the database?
Reading and writing blobs from UDF's is not a big deal, but reading
and writing normal transactional data is tricky and can lead to
messy self-deadlocks.

Blobs become transactional when the blob id is stored in a record.
They're created outside transaction context and can be read that
way.
