I'm feeling more confident about the idea that Soapbox can be a separate service that runs alongside Pleroma.
It can implement features such as Groups and Recurring Donations, while being written in literally any language. It exposes endpoints like `/api/soapbox/groups` to be used by the frontend, and it can talk to Pleroma by making API calls. The frontend can literally pass a user Authorization token through the Soapbox service and then to Pleroma to get a result. If that doesn't work, Soapbox could always I/O the SQL database directly.
The best thing is, soapbox-fe can detect if Soapbox is available, and fall back to only basic Pleroma features if it isn't. Fundamentally it's just a really nice skin for a Pleroma server, but if you take the extra time you can also add the extra features. If it can manage to use only the Mastodon API to do stuff, it could work with a pluggable backend.

@realcaseyrollins Agreed, the #fediverse functioning in reality is many instances sitting in their own cozy little silo's. In essence, the fediverse is very restrictive and limiting, totally opposite to it's so called cherished principles of wide open and free communication. I think this will greatly hinder and constrict its growth.
