MassTransit with MSMQ vs RabbitMQ
If it's the former you may want to take a look at something like the actor model akka.net with persistent actors (https://getakka.net/articles/persistence/architecture.html). No need of an external message broker or mass transit (which is a wrapper over different message brokers). You could use sqllite for persisting the actors state to recover in case of a restart.

For .NET 6+, is there value in using NHibernate with Sprint.net or should I stick with EF Core and the usual supporting libraries?
Spring and Hibernate are the goto libraries in Java land and I suspect that's the primary motivation for your colleague's recommendations. It's quite easy to bulldoze someone less experienced with your ideas so be careful of that. I'd avoid both. They aren't bad libraries at all but they have a 'legacy' feel and it will make your application less future proof. Would a distributed system be viable? If so then I'd recommend Akka, there'a .NET port of it that's well supported and maintained.

Is akka a good alternative?

Using functional extensions in production C# code?
However, I've found that sometimes, they are a little -too- functional. I'm a bit more preferential to Akka.Net's implementation of Option and Try, if only because they have good 'escape hatches' where you interrogate them in a more procedural manner.

Microsoft RulesEngine. Feedback from those that have used it in enterprise environments
This project is also what ultimately led to the creation of Akka.NET - I wrote an overview on how our application was built here: https://aaronstannard.com/markedup-akkadotnet/

Questions about network programming with C#
You may also want to take a look at queues (e.g. RabbitMQ) or even something like Akka.NET or Microsoft Orleans.

What does the .NET ecosystem offer in terms of distributed data processing frameworks?
From the title I immediately thought AKKA.NET or Orleans

Is there a programming language that will blow my mind?
https://github.com/asynkron/protoactor-go & this is a great lib, that implements a Erlang/Akka-like the Actor Model in Go.

Introduction to Software Architecture with Actors: Part 3 — On Simple Systems
I have worked with Orleans and Orbit a little bit and always wanted to have a look to akka.net or proto.actor. Do you know an Open Source project which makes use of actors?

Ergo: Erlang/OTP Implemented in Golang
Looks cool. However, since this is a paid product… if one wants an actor framework for go without the need to connect to Erlang nodes, this will be a fine choice: https://github.com/asynkron/protoactor-go.

Erlang's not about lightweight processes and message passing
A used this a couple of times in production: https://github.com/asynkron/protoactor-go.
No problem launching a 100k actors on a laptop.
