Hilariously, I discovered this very technique a couple weeks ago when Claude Code presented it out of the blue as an option with an implemented example when I was trying to find some optimizations for something I'm working on. It turned out to be a really smart and performant choice, one I simply wasn't aware of because I hadn't really kept up with new SQLite features the last few years at all.

Lesson learned: even if you know your tools well, periodically go check out updated docs and see what's new, you might be surprised at what you find!
