using a sql db for push/pop semantic feels like using a hammer to squash a bug.. How would you model queues & partitions with ordering guarantees with pg ?

With transactions, and stored procedures if that helps ;). Redis also seems well suited to the use cases I've seen for Kafka. Kafka must have capabilities beyond those use cases, and I've sometimes wondered what they are.
sql has many conveniences for doing so, it wouldn't be much work.

Agreed - but Kafka is a much much bigger hammer. SES/Az Queues are also good choices.
