So, does the request that the client sends in get re-sent via Spread and then the client sits and wiats for the response? If that's the case, Net::Server::Multiplex seems like a bad fit.

The client connections will be long lived. They will not be for a single request like say a HTTP request. The logic of the system is a state machine that changes based on input from the clients. When the state changes more than just the client who's input caused the change will be notified.

There will be many state machines in both instances and logic (eg groups of clients). I was going to allow them to be running process and have one network interface process to keep the client-server interface simple (also clean for firewalls).

Spread::Queue::Worker looks like it would be great for single requests but it still replies to the Spread system. (Reading a message from Spread blocks and the process should be able to deal with input from clients even if no Spread messages are ready. That's why it was going to poll Spread for messages while using the mutiplexing net I/O.)
