I haven't tried it yet - async processing (and even using SQLite) is new to me, so I'm trying to figure out solution patterns which work for the now, and also I can continue to invest my knowledge in to solve future problems.

I will look into WAL mode. I am enjoying using SQLite (and aware that its not the solution for everything), and have several upcoming tasks which I'm planning to use async stuff - and yes, trying to find the balance between how to handle those async tasks (Networky HTTP calls being different than running `ffmpeg` locally).
