We don’t have to talk in abstract about this, you can benchmark these things or just look at the many ones run by others. For example, some benchmarks around some Postgres scaling improvements: https://wiki.postgresql.org/images/e/e8/FOSDEM2012-Multi-CPU....

If you don’t need anything Postgres offers, by all means stick with sqlite. But your pessimism about being stuck with operations “serialized on a lower level” is not empirically justified for most of the databases that support multi-threading.
