Meaning my main library of about 19GiB has a full-text-search.db of ~19GiB,

It is definitely something that would be useful to know in the case of a very large library.
However, a perfect 1:1 ratio seems to me hard to believe: for example, I don't think that scanned or illustrated pdfs occupy the equivalent of their full size in the index, since it is the text layer only that is indexed.
Maybe when the database is generated it already has a minimum size (and therefore the ratio is not 1: 1, even if it seems to be in your case)?
Perhaps some users with heavier libraries who have already performed the indexing, can provide feedback on the size of their archive file.
