Normally it is ok to upgrade the bundled libsqlite. When done carefully, even 
in the stable branch. Fe from the news you've linked - "Yikes! The 3.12.0 and 
3.12.1 releases contain a backwards compatibility bug!" :) But similar 
situations already happened before. However not upgrading it at all for 3 years 
is also not good, so fine with upgrading it from time to time. A respective RM 
should be better asked for approval.

Regards

Anatol
