I don't know of any.

Everything would still go through the same mount. But that's also the
case for e.g. ext4 or btrfs, so it's probably nothing you'd have to be
concerned about.

That said, accessing S3QL (or any other file system) through sshfs is
certainly not going to make anything faster - quite the opposite.

Everything is possible in principle, but I don't think anyone is
planning to implement this. It would most likely require switching
SQLite for a different database.
