I think we should not try to ship a different format for updates
than we ship with releases. I think we're likely to wind up with
people whose DBs are in strange intermediate states that are broken
and hard to debug. The rulesets.sqlite file is small enough that
it's reasonable to always ship the whole thing.
It looks like arraybuffers are what you want to retrieve binary data
using XHR:

I'll take a look at your changes in terms of loading the rulesets DB
from the user's profile directory. It sounds like you're probably on
the right track. I was expecting that we'd need to make a change
somewhat like that.
