It's sort of a "doomed if you do, doomed if you don't issue". SQLite lowers the barrier to start, but if your community grows even modestly then you'll be facing a very scary database migration (or at least scary for small admin teams). I suspect a soft fork or subversion targeted towards small instances might be more sustainable, but that obviously requires more developers to build and maintain that.
