Adding on, the AirPlay 2 implementation by Shairport-sync works very well. I have approximately 6 different Rpis/thin clients around the house I use as AirPlay 2 receivers and can vouch for how well the system works. NQPTP is built by the same team.

Could you hypothetically run this on two different Pi’s, one for bookshelf and one for a separate sub, but synchronized?

I’m trying to avoid a bulky receiver and want something more custom, with the option to turn the sub off digitally.

shairport-sync also has the option to output to FIFO/stdout, which I couldn't see details of in this Open AirPlay 2 implementation. Indispensable for tying in to SnapCast!
