Many issue tracking systems have a GUI, "point and click" query
builder/editor. So, SQL use can be mostly avoided.

Creating such a query builder (probably in Javascript) for Fossil might be
a good idea. The project managers I work with want one. Even some of my
developer colleagues complain about needing to learn SQL. (Not as much as a
few years ago when we doing a lot of defining and refining of the reports
and queries.)

I'm thinking he wants 2 sets of default settings: The existing one (which
he perceives as being open source oriented) and another set that are more
appropriate for use by software teams within a "corporate environment".

Seems to me that he doesn't realize that Fossil separates the repository
from the "working copy". He's expecting "fossil clone" to work like Git or
Hg where the working copy is automatically created.
