Someone on `#emacs` pointed me to  
[Enabling org-roam leads to launch error finalizer failed: (wrong-type-argument sqlitep nil) · Issue #8066 · doomemacs/doomemacs · GitHub](https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs/issues/8066),  
which then forwards to  
[What is responsible for this db-sync 'finalizer failure' message? - #12 by akashp](https://org-roam.discourse.group/t/what-is-responsible-for-this-db-sync-finalizer-failure-message/3567/12)  
I don’t fully get it though. I’m on emacs 30.1.
