I floated this idea across some coworkers recently and they brought up a similar concern, which is concurrency in general, both within our code and dependencies. I can't find many places in Nova (at least) that are concurrent in the sense that one object will be used by multiple threads. nova-scheduler is likely one place. nova-compute would likely be easy to fix if there are any problems. That said, I think the only way to know for sure is to try it out and see. I'm going to hack up a proof of concept and see how difficult this will be.
