It reminds me of GNU Parallel[0], so I have to imagine it fits for some use cases. I stumbled upon Parallel when I was trying to do user-level "distributed" computing at the day job for running hundreds of simulations in a shorter amount of time. Never really did get it working (I had a hard enough time just ginning up a Python program to orchestrate test cases across local cores; still took 3.5 hours for a full run of tests), and they're currently trying to get a SLURM cluster setup while I'm debugging NVidia binary drivers and overloading our Gitlab instance.
