Manually installing php7.2-sqlite3 fixes this.
I'm not able to reproduce this locally on unstable, I have MediaWiki running under PHP 7.3 just fine. Given that installing php7.2-sqlite3 fixed your issue, I suspect that Apache was still using the php7.2 module instead of php7.3. Maybe you need to manually disable the old module (sudo a2dismod php7.2) and then enable the new one (sudo a2enmod php7.3)? You can verify that Apache is properly using 7.3 by creating a PHP file that just calls `<?php phpinfo();` in your webroot and seeing what the output is. -- Kunal
