It's not a crazy idea, but it's not obviously a panacea either.
All of which is to say, maybe there's something there... but often distributed databases have fewer features and have bigger footguns than rdbms's. If you want to try cockroach or aurora, you don't need the devs help. You can stay to stand up a Lemmy instance that points at them. If the compatibility is really good enough, it will "just work" and you can try some performance testing. If it doesn't, then you have your answer than porting effort is requires for speculative benefit.
