Clerk or Convex for organization management

[junior nacelle]

Hello, I was wondering if you should use Clerk for organization management (e.g managing memberships, invites and permissions) and mirror it to your own Convex database with webhooks (meaning you have to use actions and the Clerk SDK to manage organizations). Or if you should only use Clerk for authenticating users and store all organization data only in Convex (disabling organizations in Clerk).
If you need any more details feel free to ping me.

What is the recommended pattern and why?

I did read things that you should have all user and organization data in your Convex database, but not if you should store organizations in Clerk and mirror to Convex or only Convex.
