I live in the ozarks, much like Appalachia. So I can answer those questions at least anecdotally.

Door dash: none. Nobody is using it, or am incredibly small number.

Solar off grid: a decent amount. It’s certainly doable. It’s easier to be on-grid, though.

Maybe DoorDash wasn't a good analogy. I volunteered on a CSA in high school (Greater STL area, so fairly close to you), and honestly that model is surprisingly feasible. Supply chains produce a lot of greenhouse gas emissions, and the closer you are to your food production, the better it is for everybody involved.
