IMO yes since you will most likely come across issues with concurrent writes which won't work with SQLite Postgres or just using Cloud - both works: https://app.prefect.cloud/

I need to setup a local testing environment, otherwise we will be using cloud for production and staging areas. Thank you
The DB is happy since I switched to Posgres. Thank you!
