I'm a big fan of NATS. It a small binary which can be scaled as much as you want and it replaces Kalfka, lightweight MQTT brokers, etc and has clients for most languages.

Is it suitable for embedded applications? (very low resources, intermittent network availability, etc)

The NATS protocol [0] looks pretty simple, but is text based unlike MQTT which uses a size optimized binary protocol.

NATS actually also has support for MQTT[0]. If you already have a deployment for queues, microservices, etc, using the NATS mqtt endpoint seems like a very good option.
