SPIN has long been used for similar stuff in academia and industry. They have published a lot of their specs and results.

There were many projects using Pi Calculus, too. One of my project ideas is something that converts TLA+ to SPIN and Pi Calculus to use their tools and works. Or just otherwise integrates them.

Which model checkers use Pi Calculus? I've thought about learning Pi Calculus but an much less interested if there's no checker.

I don't think TLA+ is far too expressive to translate to Promela. There are, however, tools that translate subsets of TLA+ to ProB: https://www3.hhu.de/stups/prob/index.php/TLA
