I hate this buzzword. It's especially confusing because peer-to-peer architectures are also validly described as serverless.

Don't change it. The term is totally accurate for describing SQLite, and the other terms people are suggesting are IMHO less clear.

Rather, I would add a blurb to the "SQLite Is Serverless" web page, clarifying that you are using the original common-sensical definition of the word, not the current buzzword.
