I'm not going to repeat everything what has been said about it, but I have so far not seen any *valid* complain about the usage of a database server for Akonadi. Nobody complains that Firefox includes a full blown database server. Nobody complains that Thunderbird includes a full blown database server.
Because they don't. They use sqlite. sqlite, you will note, works basically everywhere, including NFS-shared home directories, without incident. (Of course, strigi doesn't work on NFS-shared home directories anyway, but thats less strigi's fault than the fault of the kernel hackers for implementing a filesystem notification feature which silently fails to work properly on network filesystems).
I do. FF&TB are slow, ugly + bloated, so I won't use them (anymore).
I take it you don't use Chrome, either (which also uses sqlite, if anything much more heavily than FF).
