Yes.  Even "alpha" versions of SQLite are very stable.  Fossil version 1.19
is ready for production use.

The version of SQLite in Fossil 1.19 went through most of our pre-release
validation tests.  (See http://www.sqlite.org/checklists/3070800 for
details.)  "Alpha" is just a label.  Don't get hung up on it.

Note that we "eat our own dogfood" here.  The version of Fossil that runs
the Fossil website (and the SQLite website) is typically the tip of trunk -
even newer than the 1.19 release.  Note further that we also tend to use the
very latest SQLite (tip of trunk) on production code in-house.  This email
is being sent to you via gmail using Firefox-Nightly recompiled with the
SQLite tip-of-trunk, for example.
