MySQL for the BT_Backup and other stuff?

I assume this has come up before, but I cannot find it in a <Search>
Is there a roadmap where qBitTorrent uses MySQL (MariaDB) for things like:
*BT_Backup
*GeoDB
*GeoIP
*Copy .torrent files to:
*Copy .torrent files for finished downloads to:
??

I could think of a few reasons this might be a good idea (speed, reliability, resilience, cross-OS portability, etc).

I'm finishing a digiKam setup to use my remote MySQL (MariaDB) server for its 3 main databases: core, faces and similarities. There are multiple digiKam clients (Linux, Mac and Windows) using them, and the MySQL databases are replicated between a master / slave MariaDB backend.
It worked out pretty good and it was easy to setup.

qBittorrent has SQLite, but you have to enable it in Settings.
Advanced -> Resume data storage type -> SQLite

It's been present for quite some time now.
(From what I heard and seen, it really helps with large amount of torrents. I was able to operate 100k+ in a single client with it.)
