I think it imperative to think carefully about when, how, and where, any Class instance may be modified.

Perhaps you are suggesting using Tuples with multiple Types like a property-bag ?

I can't quite see how F# would, inherently, remove a need to have complex POCOS: if a POCO gotta have a lotta fields or properties

class BirthDate

  public int Month {get;set;}
