This is a cool implementation, for sure, but I'm not sure I'd recommend going directly for a structure like a CRDT and managing the distribution yourself. This kind of thing is exactly why mnesia was made, and that should have no trouble at all scaling to the hundreds of thousands of connections and beyond.
