I've glanced over the article - I think using SQLCypher makes sense if it benefits Keepass project internally, meaning makes it easier to implement new features or fix bugs.

I do not see how it would benefits end users in any significant way. Sure, you can look inside the database, how many people need that?

Dumping the database to CSV is not a good backup, schema changes over time, what was dumped from one version of the app would not work for importing into another version if schema changes. Backup it needs a versioned schema format, which would actually look like KDBX format if implemented in XML :-)
