They came up with quorum queues which have less features and require to keep all messages in memory.

I don't think this is true

Quorum queues store their message content on disk (per Raft requirements) and only keep a small metadata record of each message in memory. This is a change from prior versions of quorum queues where there was an option to keep the message bodies in memory as well. This never proved to be beneficial especially when the queue length was large.

You are correct, nice to see that this was improved.

I should find time to run some tests with quorum queues, this now actually looks usable. But in the end we will have to see how stable it is running production workloads.
