SQL Maxis: Why We Ditched RabbitMQ and Replaced It with a Postgres Queue
Not when a queue is involved. IME trying to replicate something like beanstalkd (https://beanstalkd.github.io/) in postgres is asking for trouble for anything but trivial workloads.
If you're measuring throughput in jobs/s, use a real work queue.

PHP parallel processing idea
Then there are queue libraries like beanstalkd, RabbitMQ or built-in features like queues from Laravel. These will probably get you quicker to your goal then trying the process managing route.

Write Your Own Task Queue
The only task queue I loved was beanstalkd -- it's beautifully written and highly performant. Starting it takes seconds and it's been running for a decade:

What are some popular background job processing frameworks in the Rust ecosystem?
It's not rust (it's C), but beanstalkd is a pretty incredible work queue that processes millions of jobs a day (10K+/s at peak) for my company. I know there are a few rust drivers available.

That's pretty cool. Reckon it would work with existing code that calls Redis over the wire for RQ?

Keep the Monolith, but Split the Workloads
We use RQ[0], it has Redis as a dependency. It’s pretty straightforward and we’re very happy with it. If you are using Django you may want to look at Django RQ[1] as well. RQ has built in scheduling capabilities these days, but historically it did not so we used (and still use) RQ Scheduler[2] which I think still has some advantages over the built in stuff.

SQL Maxis: Why We Ditched RabbitMQ and Replaced It with a Postgres Queue
Also had a similar experience using RabbitMQ with Django+Celery. Extremely complicated and workers/queues would just stop for no reason.
Moved to Python-RQ [1] + Redis and been rock solid for years now.

Recommendations other than celery to send an API processing in background, which would only take 5 mins to process and API usage would be once a month or so.
Yep, rq is simple and good: https://python-rq.org/ It also has a Django wrapper: https://github.com/rq/django-rq
