macOS, iOS, Windows, and possibly Android have system certificate
verifiers that can handle this easily.  For desktop and server Linux,
should a CRLite package be included in system package managers?  Would
it be feasible for WebPKI and {Open,Boring,Libre}SSL to handle CRLite,
or does this mean that NSS should be used for certificate verification?

Isn't that the purpose of the crlutil command in the nss package?
From "man 1 crlutil" ...

DESCRIPTION
       The Certificate Revocation List (CRL) Management Tool, crlutil, is a command-line utility that can list, 
generate, modify, or delete CRLs within the NSS security database file(s) and list, create,
       modify or delete certificates entries in a particular CRL.
