I have two apps in prod one using https://github.com/andpor/react-native-sqlite-storage and one using https://github.com/realm/realm-js, both offline only, so I guess I can report my experience with those.

The Realm React Native SDK has a hermes branch that is indeed compatible with Hermes. So, it'll work with react-native-reanimated v2 but not with Expo, due to the React Native version the Expo SDK is pinned to.

One issue that irked me during Spicebreaker's development was how painful it was to update the SQLite database with my questions. I tried various solutions, including deleting the database before loading it - it seems to work for some people, but definitely did not work under my setup with my simulator or phone. After wasting hours, I decided it's not worth shortening my lifespan further, and settled on renaming the database file each time I update it. Absolutely disgusting.
