I share OPs skepticism. Market makers invest in microwave towers, FPGAs, etc. I would be surprised if sqlite backed by NVME is on the other end of all that specialized hardware.
Order matching is a single threaded thing though. I would be curious if anyone knows how electronic trading systems are actually implemented.
