You've basically described rqlite [1], which uses Raft to coordinate the changes to the Leader, and then across some number of Followers. The write won't be acked until a quorum has persisted the change, and committed to the underlying SQLite database.

Disclaimer: I am the creator of rqlite.

rqlite also supports read-only nodes, so in theory you can have more nodes at the edge, just like D1 -- but these nodes won't participate in the distributed consensus process. Those nodes will keep up-to-date with changes, even catching up in the event of a temporary disconnection.
