Yes, sqlite is NOT a good database. Bareos writes millions of file records to the file. Sqlite will run out of pointers and performance will greatly suffer very quickly.

Sqlite is a FLAT file database, not an indexed one. It simulates a database so a developer does not have to figure out SQL/db setup stuff while developing.

So the only concern is performance. Am I right?

To some degree yes. SQlite is a file base database which is basically a key/value store. The more complex dependencies with columns/rows/tables are managed in the library which is used inside the client code. This lead to problems with concurrency and performance if you have somewhat complex queries or schemas. If you have a small backup set which is never intended to grow you can use SQlite, but if you intend to use Bareos as a central network backup i would recommend using PostgreSQL which doesn't need any attention and is better suited for the task.
