Well,

As far I can tell, it would be easier to add layers of indexes, data control, schema control, transactions and so-forth on top of something like Tokyo DB than it would be to take apart a SQL database.

Easier, yes. But would it be better?

Layering transactions atop a key-value store would be very difficult to do efficiently, for example.
