Can we use Entity framework in our community?

Question

Hi, 
 As part of the new features we are adding new custom tables and stored procedures in the community database, 
 Right now I am using the ADO.Net (Connection, Command, Data Reader, Data Adapter and Data Set classes) to make DML operations. 
 Can I use Entity Framework / EF Core to do the same. Because Entity framework is better since it allows us to work with data as strongly typed objects in C#.

I don't see any reason you would be restricted from using EF for new custom tables. You would not be able to alter existing tables used out-of-the-box by Community.
