Nq – a simple Unix job queue system
I'll note that nq's author also has a redo implementation¹. I've wondered a few times why their other projects(nq/mblaze/etc) don't use redo, but never actually asked.

Sharing resources by queuing jobs
If you want something quick and janky, I suggest nq. It's stupidly simple and lightweight; it just requires that everyone is running as the same user. And only lets exactly one job of any kind run in a given queue. There's basically zero configuration; just nq , and it'll either start running , or will wait its turn.

Looking for recommendations on my ssh tmux &| tee workflow
For your ad-hoc uses, I would introduce nq. It's an extremely lightweight queuing system, which gives you two things with minimal overhead:
-
Run script in background conditionally and killing background process it started
I'm already aware of alternatives which I will consider (at, nq, snooze, but I still want an accurate lightweight CLI stopwatch/timer app and the script otherwise works well--this is more of an exercise on understanding background processes and could be handy in other scripts. Or if the attempt is considdered hacky and ill-advised, I'm curious of an alternative implementation. I just feel nothing is more simple than a very lightweight C-based timer app that exits 0 after specified time has elapsed and don't want to run a cron job or even a while sleep 1 loop for a reminder (sleep isn't even a builtin...).

Fq: Jq for Binary Formats
Interesting project. Unfortunate that its name conflicts with one of nq’s executables (https://github.com/leahneukirchen/nq), but I’m not sure anything can be done about it.

Tool to queue tasks and add/remove them?

pueue - :stars: Manage your shell commands.
walk - A fast, general purpose, graph based build and task execution utility.
fq - jq for binary formats - tool, language and decoders for working with binary and text formats
