Node.js backend architecture question
You could use a Redis based job system like https://github.com/bee-queue/bee-queue for maintenance and email. The jobs could be populated by the API service, some cron scripts, and whatever else, while you'd have dedicated worker processes (written in Node.js?) pulling the jobs and running them.

Building a task queue, Part 1
The Node.js libraries BullMQ and Bee Queue are also infrastructure and interface. However, you typically have to use their interface.

Scaling synchronous microservices
I'm a fan of bee-queue for this when working in Node, but it's just a wrapper around reliable queue patterns in Redis; you might want to investigate how it works (the readme is quite good) for your own use case, or find an equivalent for your environment. The key is it's designed for short tasks (seconds long, not minutes or hours), and you can receive a result back from the task unlike some fire-and-forget queueing solutions.

[Question] API routes and worker_threads
I'd also consider something like bee-queue, which would enable you to scale across processes or even across multiple server machines.

For NodeJS, there are BullMQ(successor of Bull), Bull and Bee Queue

Integrating python with a existing CRUD webapp not using python
Since the script will be spending time processing data, the next step would be to use a background job scheduler such as Resque so that the data processing does not slow down the application layer.

RabbitMQ is not really event driven?
You could do this, but why would you? The point of RabbitMQ is that this is all built in and provided by the software and by the client library. If you were to build something on top of gRPC it is you who has the burden of making sure all sorts of edge cases are handled and understanding where you messed up when something goes wrong. It's a bunch of stuff you don't have to write. I would suggest looking into into how sidekiq/resque or the reimplementations of it in other languages (like this for node.js) do it if you want something lighter.

Just Wanted to Say Thanks
This inspired me so I will find more time to do this as well. Went ahead and started at one of my favorite projects that I use across several professional and personal projects :)
