    What you achieved, is handlers decoupling, i.e. when one handler knows nothing about other handler, which leads to good application testability. However, with standard promise/future bases messaging, if performance matters (and it usually does, otherwise why use C++?), i doubt that your implementation overwhelms the performance of specialized actor libraries, like sobjectizer ("batteries included" actors toolbox) or rotor (DIY-like actor constructor set; disclaimer: I'm the author of it).

    I have been reading the documents from Boost.fibre and Boost.Signals2 which I could use, maybe ASIO for async. I also checked ZeroMQ (this seems to be more or less "only" for networking), Copper and Rotor. If this were just a simple MCU project I would just take the FreeRTOS and would have everything I need. Now I'm just lost how to structure my code / how to realize my main loop.

    rotor actor library (I'm the author) was designed to solve similar problem, which I named "actor intrusiveness", when almost every piece of code should be written in form of actor, and, the working threads, which spin actors, are out of your control.
