This error seems isolated to your install. I've seen a few 8.1.x installs with 20,000+ products and 5,000+ pages without any issues at all. The SQLite3 upgrade actually sped things up in all cases.
SQLite is a great db system, as it is self-contained, fast, and platform independent. It is also SQL compatible, so any sqlite3 editor or plugin for perl/php, etc... will allow easy access to the db itself.
