I have a coworker who wanted to use RDS to store a single configuration table with a dozen or so rows.
I told them to please investigate using SQLite with an d3 bucket for storage. Their tools will run about 1x a month on automation, they don't need a full DB.
Due to some unfortunately placed warnings about SQLite in production (context matters too) they were discouraged from this path.
I didn't argue I just said "fine, use aurora" and I'm sure this will bite us in some unforseen way down the road, but that will be Infra issues and then it's my teams job to handle it.
