Google have produced https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/google/nftables which is a pure-go implementation of nftables functionality.

This avoids needing to package an 'nft' binary, and as long as the main nfq_forwarder binary has suitable elevated capabilities, this should work without needing full root privileges.
