It probably depends! If you’re using one of the hosting providers or managed services that just give you a DB to use and you don’t have to think about administering it, it’s a pretty relaxed experience. Even if you self-host, running a container with the DB of your choice usually isn’t that much more difficult than just having an SQLite DB for your app, at that point it’s probably more about the features which each solution provides. Personally, I have some stuff running on MariaDB, PostgreSQL and SQLite and I’ve almost never had any problems with either. Then again, I’ve never gotten to a scale with personal stuff where the specifics of that choice would matter much.
