Have you considered libsql? It is a distributed SQLite database, written mostly in Rust. There is a go database/sql and GORM driver available - https://github.com/tursodatabase/libsql
I did not know about libsql! Thanks for sharing. How do you think I should reason about making this distributed - should I use one of the (various) sqlite replicatoin libraries? Or should this be something I roll on my own (on top of some other protocol, such as raft, or something else.)

It really depends on the semantics of the MQ you want to provide. There is rqlite if you want a distributed SQLite over Raft.
The question is what sort of guarantees you'd like to provide and how much of latency / performance you are willing to compromise
