Would something like GNU potentially work for the Fediverse? (www.taler.net)

Or perhaps The Lightning Network?

(Yes, I know that TLN uses Bitcoin)

Sure. Why not?

While not a very well known project, Crowdbucks's (a Liberapay/Kofi alternative for the Fediverse) dev told me that he was investigating how GNU Taler works and wanted to implement support for it in his project: https://mastodon.social/@reiver/115097895209652675

Liberapay's team should also be working on implementing support for it. They got a grant specifically for that: https://nlnet.nl/project/TALER-Liberapay/

If we are lucky, we will see GNU Taler being used by the EU as the system behind the digital euro in a few years. Then it most likely will become mainstream.
