Are there any known limitations in developing an application in Appian without a external data store(RDBMS)? There is no business need to perist data in an different data store and all the data would reside in Appian and would be purged based on the archival setting. Any known problems in proceeding with this architecture? Any suggestions would help....

No "problems" per se, but NOT using an RDBMS in conjunction with Appian removes a very useful tool from your toolbox. You are limiting yourself to just using process data and making your app less flexible.
There is no need at this point, but what if there is one in the future? Are you going to migrate data out of Appian then? What if other applications, in Appian or external would like to use that data?
Every good Appian application design NEEDS to persist data in RDBMS.
