From what I can read, this press release mentions that they have so far reached an agreement to work together on the project, and they are currently _planning_ on using a KSI blockchain. Too early to say if the project will succeed or not.

With proper access controls, backup system and proper maintenance, definitely. While the DB engine itself can vary (PostgreSQL, Oracle, whatever Microsoft produces etc.), SQL based database engines are widely used in such scenarios already.

That assumes you are dealing with a trustworthy government / corporation. Look at Lebanon their entire government just resigned overnight, can the people really trust “proper access controls and maintenance” in such chaos? Would it not be better to have essential records be kept track of by the public? Even if you don’t need it now, think of it has a insurance policy.
