Chris, it really depends on how large your project is. Some of my projects 
cover 1000 sq miles.  Usually I don’t use QGIS directly for that, I break it 
down to smaller pieces.

My desktop is NetBSD 9, I ran out of threads, and found that qgis 3.22.8
was using 157 threads, much more than I expected.

I really don't understand:

  What is qgis using threads for?

  Do others see large (100 or so, vs 10) thread counts?

  Why are there 157 (really, why are there more than about 10-20)?
Seems kind of surprising to me as well.  I get that some applications could 
benefit by parallel execution, and of course separating rendering from file or 
other I/O seems reasonable, but 157 is a lot of threads for just reading data 
and visualizing it.

As far as I know, PostgreSQL doesn't even use threads.  See for example this 
discussion 
https://dba.stackexchange.com/questions/251935/number-of-worker-threads-available-in-postgresql

About SQLite I have no idea.

Does it seem like you have one thread per layer for reading plus one for 
rendering plus one for user  input?
