I was based at LAX with a major airline for many years. In the early
days knowing the peaks and valleys I used to fly a light aircraft in
there when our company would let us park at the hangar. Then, traffic
increased and one day I was almost blown over in an Arrow by a
Continental 727 who blasted the power around the corner taking 25L for
takeoff even though the tower told him to be careful.

It's too easy to end up in a nasty situation like that at one of these
major airports.

Why not? Who do they think they are?

I've flown light aircraft at peak hours (both VFR and IFR) into DFW,
LAX, IAH, etc, all of which are significantly busier than CVG and it
was a breeze.

P.S. everyone on airnav commenting about CVG seems to be flying a 172
or equiv and seems to think it was a great experience.
