Fabric SQL Database vs Warehouse

I am building a Metadata driven ETL Framework in Fabric and I am confused on where I should create my metadata storage and pipeline logs. As warehouse specializes in OLAP requirements, by definition I am leaning towards SQL Database which is suggested for OTLP requirements.

    A SQL Database is likely the better choice, as the metadata driven framework is more of an OLTP process. 

    A warehouse will run into issues when you have multiple processes trying to update the same table at the same time, a SQL database will not have that problem.
