Is SQLite3 still not recommended?

Hi all,

the Akonadi documentation suggests to prefer MariaDB/MySQL or PostgreSQL 
over SQLite3, for various reasons. Is this still the case? I feel like 
this suggestion is outdated, for a simple desktop use case. Here some hints:

   * Debian provides the akonadi-backend-sqlite package
   * This document hasn't been updated in 8 years: 
https://invent.kde.org/pim/akonadi/-/blob/master/README.sqlite
   * This answer links to a non-existent web page. Again, it feels like 
it hasn't been reviewed in quite some time: 
https://techbase.kde.org/KDE_PIM/Akonadi#Why_not_use_sqlite?

For a simple desktop use case, the less daemons/services running, the 
better. That's my take.

Thank you KDE team and keep rocking!
Fabio.
