WordPress Core to start using SQLite Database
Before they added SQLite as WP plugin, I would use https://github.com/aaemnnosttv/wp-sqlite-db/ and I would use `define('DB_DIR', '/absolute/custom/path/to/directory/for/sqlite/database/file/');` to define the database location of my choice; I believe they would let users do the same with core support.

WordPress to support SQLite back end
They basically took this implementation and just adapted it to coding standards:
https://github.com/aaemnnosttv/wp-sqlite-db
This has been around since some time and is itself a fork of a previous work.
The interesting part is that this drop-in replacement (mostly) already works well, there are a few issues that are related to some quirks in the WordPress core itself, for example: https://github.com/aaemnnosttv/wp-sqlite-db/issues/18
And maybe now they will be fixed.

WordPress WASM
Author here, here's an in-depth writeup on how this works and why it's useful:
https://make.wordpress.org/core/2022/09/23/client-side-webas...
To answer your questions directly:
WebAssembly is the magic sauce that transforms server-side code into client-side code. MySQL unfortunately is not yet supported by WebAssembly, so I applied a plugin that adds SQLite supports to WordPress [0]. The WebAssembly application has its own in-memory filesystem that lives in a specific browser tab and is scraped as soon as you close it.
So – technically it exposes db credentials, and even the entire DB, but that you are the only user of that DB so it's okay.
> What would the backend look like
The only backend is a static file server where the code and the database live. Your browser downloads a copy of the database and allows you to modify it in the current tab, but the updates are never saved back to the server.

A proposal to officially support SQLite in WordPress
1. Plugins that register their own database tables (however there already exists prior art such as https://github.com/aaemnnosttv/wp-sqlite-db for handling these cases)
2. Plugins that do direct queries against the standard database schema (broadly either for invalid (bad code) or performance (valid but slim use case) reasons)
Also, WordPress would of course keep the old query functions around and they would likely add a tag to the plugin repository so authors can mark plugins as supporting thes new ORM features.
Great idea in my opinion!

SQLite or PostgreSQL? It's Complicated
There's a WordPress plugin that adds support for SQLite as an alternative to MySQL.
Apparently it works really well. The implementation is (to my) simply astonishing: they run regular expressions against the SQL to convert it from MySQL dialect to SQLite! https://github.com/aaemnnosttv/wp-sqlite-db/blob/9a5604cce13...

What can you NOT do with WordPress? Limitations, bugs, bandwidth, integrations, etc...
There are some significant issues with WordPress at its core, not just from a code standpoint. A case in point is this Github Issue https://github.com/WordPress/performance/issues/132

New plugin to help sites with tens of thousands of users
As for your statement that indexing WordPress's meta tables don't help: With respect, I and 4000+ sites using my other plugin disagree. https://wordpress.org/plugins/index-wp-mysql-for-speed/ Neither do some folks on WordPress's performance team. https://github.com/WordPress/performance/issues/132
