That's interesting, I hadn't thought about IPFS - it doesn't really have a strong message passing semantic so much as it has good replication properties, but maybe you could build a distributed log on top of it.

By good "replication properties" you mean "having to run many scripts/nodes yourself" to get widely replicated that is true.

We found IPFS in general to be awesome software that just wasn't quite ready for production.

There's IPFS-cluster[0] but that's still in capital-letters ALPHA.
