What do you need a RDBMS to do, and what do you not need?

The answers to those questions vary hugely between different people (and
most people probably don't think too deeply about them). They will
determine what “good” means for your case.

> Is there nothing that amounts to a 'PostgreSQLite'?

PostgreSQL itself fits that mould quite well; it is quite capable of
serving a small footprint while still offering full concurrency.

I don't know of a free-software concurrent RDBMS which can be considered
lighter than that. (No, MySQL doesn't count; its concurrency is
*unreliable* and it commonly loses data silently. Don't use MySQL.)

But perhaps you don't need concurrency? Only you can tell us.
