I do not know the use case but we did try the following.
We had a small requirement wrt some regional data written to tables but needs to be available to all regions.
We made use of logical replication to replicate/publish each local table to all the other regions ( like a many to many)
In theory, if there were no network delay all regions will have all the data at any point of time.
If there is a wan outage b/w A and B,
They both still talk to C and c can be considered the region with more correct data, till we have others recovered.
basically given we had disjoint data, we were able to make use of this feature.
And it it definitely not for HA, there are other options for it.

ACK!
Sure, you have to pay for a support contract, and this isn't for free,
but you will get a first-class support for BDR. If you really needs a
worldwide distributed multi-master solution you should be able to buy that.
