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.
