Hi Andreas,
I agree that supporting gpkg is an important feature. I have opened a
few tickets about specific issues.
I'm not so sure power users are not interested in developing this
directly: as gpkg use spreads out, I believe someone will need it.
Moreover, the support in gdal is improving at every version, so waiting
a bit until gdal support is consolidated might be a good strategy.
All the best.
