Quasi-related: what are some good hosted alternatives to AWS dynamodb / GCloud Firestore that are a) fast b) affordable at scale c) have a good local dev experience?

A hosted disk based redis protocol compliant capable of sub TB size datasets would be a dream for me.

Cloudflare Workers KV is really promising, but needs a better local dev story (no stable project so simulate services locally e.g. cloudworkers). Pricing is reasonable depending on what you interpret "scale" to be.
I am not sure what weight you assign to each of your requirements but DynamoDB has official Docker containers that you can use for local development. I don't find it different than developing against postgres etc. If you have tried it what problems have you encountered that make you wish for a better experience?

I actually really like Dynamo, just hate throwing my dollars at Bezos.
I was surprised out how easy it was to get started with Cassandra on DataStax: https://www.datastax.com/
