I think this is kind of their point. If you're starting out, you may not need to meet the same considerations as a "large multi user website". So you don't get stuck trying to do that - you start with what you need (appropriately) and adjust down the line.

It is hard to do right.

The problem is you have SQLite which works some of the time and Postgres which works all of the time. Postgres is a great option for websites of all sizes. There is vanishingly few reasons to ever pick SQLite for a website. When the only real advantage is not having to run a second process which only really matters for local apps.
