Not yet, unfortunately.  I have plans to make lei independent of
Xapian (SQLite will still be necessary), but it hasn't been a
priority this year, maybe next year...

The (hopefully) coming lei FUSE3 backend may be helpful for notmuch
users, too, since it'll allow storing compressed/deltafied/deduped
messages in git w/o eating millions of real inodes.
