Comment (by romulodl):

 About the solution, should not be better to create a filter called
 `use_wp_query` just after `pre_get_posts` function and add an early return
 in case of being `false`?

 The proposed solution is ok, but IMO it would be very confusing for a dev
 navigate on which filter needs to be hooked if you want to return from
 another source database or if you're caching the results (which was my
 pain creating a post cache plugin for memcache.)
