SQLite was built as a solution to the question "How do we put a SQL database on a nuclear submarine stealthily moving away from base for months at a time in secret, without putting a DBA in there with it?"
It can go wrong, it does go wrong, but it's a pretty solid solution, especially if you're not needing insane concurrency throughput.
The problem is many people need concurrency. They're running web apps over multiple servers. It's there where SQLite is a problem.

Thanks to your question, today I re-discovered https://unqlite.org https://unqlite.org, which may fulfill a requirement I've been facing for some time. Awesome!
