Not to be repetitious, I just don't remember if this has been said or not, I'm old, give me a break. Some people have found that DI water is too thick to properly remove flux residue under low stand-off components.

I believe the correct statement (I've been told) is "the process is no clean". The solder paste is "low residue". As a CM, in the past we had customers that insisted on a wash after soldering. We used DI water with a saponifier which had mixed result
