Pg_branch: Pre-alpha Postgres extension brings Neon-like branching
https://github.com/Photonios/pgcow that supports ZFS.
BTRFS is not that scary. Quota and RAID56 is broken but other features have been stable quite some time. Btrfs is used by default for few Linux distros and Facebook makes quite heavy use of it on their servers https://lwn.net/Articles/824855/
I have been running btrfs on all of my machines since 2016 as transparrent file compression helps a lot with keeping disk usage down.
Btrfs RAID1 even saved my data once when one of the SSD's decided to die suddenly.
For maximum performance you should run databases on top of XFS anyway. It also supports per-file COW via relinks.

Pg_branch: Pre-alpha Postgres extension brings Neon-like branching
Underlying DBLab Engine is FOSS (Apache 2.0), with API, CLI and UI https://github.com/postgres-ai/database-lab-engine

Want to avoid MySQL but find PlanetScale really appealing
That said, there are a few folks out there attempting it. As mentioned, Neon attempts branching but has no "merge". Postgres.ai has "thin clones" for similar migration testing but again, no "merge".

Neon – Serverless Postgres
Agreed, this direction is underestimated and should be developed better -- we (Postgres.ai) do it for any Postgres with our Database Lab Engine [1], and Neon would bring even more power if it's installed on production

What are some alternatives?
pg_branch - Experimental Postgres extension for quickly branching databases through file system snapshots
neon - Neon: Serverless Postgres. We separated storage and compute to offer autoscaling, code-like database branching, and scale to zero.
pg-clone-schema - Postgres clone schema utility without need of going outside of database. Makes developers life easy by running single function to clone schema with all objects. It is very handy on Postgres RDS. Utility is sponsored by http://elephas.io/
