Sure, and standalone mode does work out of the box with SQLite.

However any serious app with a database backend will inform the user
that they need to install MySQL and create a database with an
appropriate login ID and password that they then feed to the app during
installation or setup. At which point it does work out of the box :D

I agree with the above.

-1 on making SQLite the default DB for grid services.
