How would an ORM like that push a list of tuples into a single query parameter though? Is that feasible?

Perhaps this is easier to use with an ORM then? It would need a list of placeholders for each item, but I suspect you would need that anyway…

=> with v(col1, col2) as (
values (1, 'two'::text), (2, 'one'::text), (1, 'one'::text), (2, 'two'::text)
)
select * from v where (col1, col2) = (1, 'one'::text);
col1 | col2
------+------
1 | one
(1 row)

This could be written as a join to a table with fixed values in the OP’s case.
