Not sure this makes much sense. Now Processing stores temporary

As long as you have enough memory, that's a good approach. When your
system starts paging, you better have a backup plan.
and uses .shp/.geopackage as intermediate
format because these formats are compatible with wast majority of 3rd
party tools.
I dare to guess that those flexible enough to have picked up geopackage
in the last years are likely to pickup flatgeobuf in the near future too.

Also as flatgeobuf does not provide random write capability it can be
slow in some cases.
In which cases does processing do random writes? I think in most cases
it streams data from/to feature sources or to feature sinks.
Hi Matthias,

In some cases it does random edits, for example in some in-place
editing workflows.

Right. But in those we don't use a temporary storage, so that's a completely different code path?
