Fwiw, even Postgres-centered "real-time" platforms like Supabase do not do distributed writes (but they sure can benefit from distributed reads).

I get where you are coming from, but I'd imagine Supabase on Fly is instantly faster than its default single-region deploys on AWS. Fly's CEO, Kurt Mackey, is an investor in Supabase, so let's see how that partnership pans out.
Fly's primary/read replica setup is as good as it gets without complicating matters any further. My money would be on Fly.io to rope in CoakroachDB, PlanetScale, YugaByte, CitusData as solution partners, but that's easier said than done.
