if you're working with ephemeral services like those then no you'd never use sqlite because they are temporary. in my mind quick and dirty being a backing store for something like a local script where you wouldn't want to spin up a full server for... or a small webserver that you are running locally. if you are going to do a proper website you'd ideally want to have something with more flexibility and data guarantees. sqlite is grand for a specific sort of read heavy or single access writes workflow.
