Postfix in its current form is just not fit for that kind of delivery.
Parts of the queue management should be rewritten and Wietse has made it
rather clear he thinks that's not a good thing to do.
The place where I worked, uses postfix everywhere, except on the box
doing smtp queuing. From what I hear from Brad Knowles, the same goes
for his site.
