It's kind of funny to see a claim that the most widely deployed database in the world is useful only for toy projects.

I guess there are more toy projects than serious ones.
Yeah, I mean MacOS, Android, iOS, Chrome, Firefox ... all typical toy projects.
sheesh lets hope there are no vulnerabilities in there
SQLite has an 608 times more lines of code for tests than the original code![0] I’d wager it’s the highest test/production ratio there is.

Most of those tests are generated. It's wrong to focus on this metric IMO.
Auto generated or not, the point being made, in regards to @bot41's comment, was that SQLite is thoroughly tested.
It's well tested, but that's still not a guarantee that there are no security issues. Latest acknowledged CVE bug is a month old: https://www.sqlite.org/cves.html
