Yeah, it's good but somewhat diverged from the practical part unless you are an onsite student.

I wonder what are alternatives (video lectures or textual resources) with more hands-on approach implementing database systems.

Not sure if this is what you are looking for but I found this paper useful on architecting databases. I read it as a complement to the CMU videos. https://dsf.berkeley.edu/papers/fntdb07-architecture.pdf

Otherwise there is surprisingly a lack of information about architecting databases online and you have to go to the source code of SQLite and PostgreSQL. I suspect this is because databases are some of the most complex systems in computer science and involve many trade secrets.
