I only very briefly looked into rqlite. It's very interesting, but if I understand it correctly it's also not geared toward a write heavy workflow. (all writes are routed to the same node)

I.e. it's leaning more toward the moderate, but reliable writes, and heavy read use cases?

Please let me know ~if I'm missing anything~ what use cases I'm missing.

That's correct. rqlite replicates SQLite for fault-tolerance and high-availability, not for performance. It fact performance takes a hit, for the reasons you state. But it's no worse (nor better) than something like, say, etcd or Consul.
