I work at FeatureBase and I'm storing vectors from the Instructor Large library/model into our solution. Getting good results, which I should probably quantify at some point. One thing that FeatureBase does well is allow filtering of the vector space via SQL.
I would say that most people seem to prefer an engine that embeds and stores things as a service, but using Instructor is only a few lines of code and runs locally.
