You are one of the bravest. And you know that, using SQLite as the base storage, rules out many of the security problems we can face.
Anyone needing to reimplement Pack, can do it, very easily, if not easier than implementing ZIP, IF they use SQLite and Zstandard. Maybe a day of work or less. If they want to rewrite (reading part of) them too, it will be a couple of days of work.
