It's a very interesting idea. I don't think I'll use it and I think the downsides outweigh the benefits but it is still an interesting idea.
I was about to boo and hiss, but if you mean something like sqlite as an application file format I'm more tempted to agree.
Well, I mostly target the places where you don't programmatically generate millions of values. Configurations, entry metadata, etc. Indeed SQLite is much better for when you have a massive amount of data, and you need a better base that a file system. But when that is not the case, a file system is more advanced than whatever tooling are behind toml and yaml.
