I’m really interested in this model where each application server has a copy of a SQLite database file which is then replaced on a scheduled basis.

Here it’s being used for web application firewall rules.

Another place I’ve thought about using this is feature flag configuration. Feature flags can be checked dozens of times per request and often need the kind of queries (user is a member of group A and has an IP located in country B) which could be well served by a local SQLite - and feature flags have a tolerance for updates taking a few seconds (or longer) to roll out.
