That approach isn't race-safe, though. Why does SQLite not allow open via O_EXCL?

There is no mode in SQLite which does that. You can tell it to do the opposite (only open an existing file, return an error if no file exists) but not the way you asked about. You will have to use file operations to find out whether the file already exists.
