That's a really good option - neatly sidesteps the risk of a NIF crash with practically no extra code.

You do still need some infrastructure - the Flame LocalBackend is for dev mostly and I'm pretty sure it just runs in the same vm as the parent.

But yeah if you're doing ML tasks it makes a lot of sense to farm those out to beefier or GPU-equipped nodes anyway so at that point it's just a natural synergy, AND you get the crash isolation.
