How is this not completely I/O bound? What's so cpu intensive that programming language matters?

  This isn't about language use. This is about what is possible with a simple setup. Single service in language of your choice and just sqlite. The idea being that unless there is a good reason you probably don't need k8s, A high availability database server cluster, and a full on proxy routing layer. Adding more layers of architecture comes with costs and unless you get something essential in return for paying that cost you should probably not bother. You may in fact be able to get by with a single server backed by sqlite and maybe litestream for backups and if that is the case then there isn't any reason not to and a lot of reasons to do so.
