Virtual Tables definitely do work and they were a fairly minimal
addition in SQLite itself.  Effectively instead of calling various
builtin routines to do things on a table, there is a call to a
corresponding virtual table routine.  apsw includes test coverage of all
the functionality.

It has been used for a full text search (aka fts) extension which lets
you search for any text in the database.  fts is even on its second
major version.  I don't know of other users of virtual tables mostly
because people don't complain when things work!

I'd go right ahead an use it.
