QSQLITE3 driver shipped with Akonadi is copy (very old one) of upstream QSQLITE driver with some patches for concurrency and we failed to upstream it (it comes from the time before Qt being open governance). Upstreaming the patches is on my TODO, but it's not that simple.

The QSQLITE3 driver should be shipped with Akonadi by default, but it's possible that some distributions split it to separate subpackage, like Fedora does with akonadi-mysql.

You can just use QSQLITE, which is always part of Qt, and just ignore QSQLITE3. You don't need really that level of concurrency in KPeople we need in Akonadi.
