I think this is already happening. I think it was Aerospike that used the FTL of of NANd/NVMe drives for a direct key value store and I think another vendor maybe Fusion had an SDK for this as well. The Optane stuff looks really interesting, are there any server vendors shipping with those?

Not OP but, yes, server vendors are shipping with Optane DC Persistent Memory, like Lenovo [1] and Supermicro [2], among others. Google also has a testing program [3, 4] with access to instances with 7TB of total memory.
