On my Fedora 35 Workstation installation, it's empty. So no obvious
conflict with the change proposal, but I'd like to make sure it's not
something that if used is going to get mad if there's an rpmdb state
change that this location isn't privy to.

See https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Scriptlets/#_saving_state_between_scriptlets, the /var/lib/rpm-state/ directory is what Fedora recommends for communicating state from one scriptlet to another. Not used or endorsed by rpm itself, and not related to the database at all.
