sqlite can scale to thousands of concurrent users.
Personally for me the issue with all these new project management platforms is that the target demographic is either: - they're so small they can't afford to self-host - they're big enough they can afford the pro plans of more established tools
Small companies can get by perfectly with the free/cheap plans of other tools, like Trello+Google Workspace. Heck if you're a one-man team with occasional collaborators free Trello + Google Workspace (~$6/mo) is enough.
A box to provision the Huly stack might come out at more per month...
