Why would you bother with this instead of just making an in memory drive? I remember mounting in memory drives even in MS-DOS back in the early 90s. I did it to move whatever game I wanted to play into the RAM Drive so my load times would be faster.
I use this today on my Raspberry Pis to load the logs and other active IO to memory and avoid wearing out the SD card.
Ok but why not just use a memory drive directly? What is gained by adding SQLite as a layer?
I am commenting on your "I remember mounting in memory drives even in MS-DOS back in the early 90s.". Just to say this this is still a thing today.
I also mounted drives in memory in early 90's :)

Videogames have gotten so ridiculously huge nowadays, we’ll be at the prosumer/workstation cusp to make this work nowadays.
