Sad to hear WebSQL is finally going away. I used it a number of years ago for a mobile only project. At the time indexeddb was effectively unusable on iOS, and the data we had was too large and complex to store in localstorage. WebSQL was perfect for the role, and worked really well.
The only issues I had with it are the lack of documentation and the fact IE, Edge and Firefox didn't support it. Perhaps it's not surprising that the MDN documentation was lacking, but I made do. Browser support on mobile was actually really good, so that didn't cause any issues.
Nowadays I'm relatively familiar with indexeddb, but I'm convinced the same project would be harder to implement with it.
