One thing I forgot to mention: Reflame requires fast writes globally only for a small subset of use cases. For everything else, it only needs fast reads globally, and for those I've been really liking FaunaDB.

It's not SQL, but it offers strongly consistent global writes that allows me to reason about the data as if it lived in a regular strongly-consistent non-replicated DB. This has been incredibly powerful since I don't have to worry at all about reading stale data like I would with an eventually consistently read-replicated DB.

It comes at the cost of write latency of ~200ms, which is still perfectly serviceable for everything I'm using it for.
