IIRC you can make SQLite create per-vector map DBs by setting the [v.]db.connect \
database= string the appropriate way. I am not totally certain about that. If not it \
would be nice to have. By using a single file for the entire mapset's DB needs you \
much more quickly reach >2gb file sizes, make it less flexible for backups, have \
longer seek times, more chance for a single bit of data corruption to cascade etc.
I don't know which way is better, for now I hope we can have both ways and race them \
against each other to see which one wins.
I'll even press the issue. I just made SQLite the default DB in grass7/trunk. (using \
a single sqlite.db file per mapset) We'll see what happens..

other ideas: NFS mount common dir; openMosix's distributed filesystem (seemingly \
built for this exact task); common Samba share; ...
