If you're looking for a very real use case of SQLite in the browser, there's SQLSync[1]. It was recently discussed on HN[2].

I couldn't find do these wrappers support read-only SQLite databases with HTTP range requests, like in this famous post [1]. Phiresky's wrapper supports it, but it seems to be rebuilding the whole sql.js [2], I'd rather have it as VFS on top of sqlite.org's own WASM module. I like the idea of HTTP range requests, but I don't want to run a fork, that will be unmaintained in few years.

Have you checked out Anytype[0]. Was recently posted/discussed here on HN a few days ago[1].
No affiliation, just interesting project that aligns with your description.

It seems indeed very nice, the examples are clear and everything works from async. I tried with Deno, and now experimenting with my own VFS.
It does seem to suffer from maintainer problems too though, and I don't blame Roy Hashimoto for that. I wouldn't want to maintain such an obvious wrapper when it should be a task for SQLite's team to upstream the changes.
Roy Hashimoto doesn't want to maintain it as an NPM package for instance, as it is just an experiment: https://github.com/rhashimoto/wa-sqlite/issues/12
