Never heard about fdb but the concept is very intriguing. We know many nosql db on top kv store rocksdb or level db (like dgraph before moving to new storage engine). That it still needs more to write until it can be called distributed and scalable.
By using foundation db we can skip many parts and focus on other part like query language and API. That's why I like the layer concept, unfortunately the is very little documentation about it. Found some layer written in python in the repo, but I don't understand where is the position of layer in the general architecture. I thought it would like plugin but I think that's not the case.
