Foreign Worker:
Benefits (at least for Go Workers) : improved performance/latency and cost (for cloud base projects).
Ofcourse message format should be simple (e.g. JSON) in order to simplify unmarshalling on non-PHP side
I'd like to implement this software on Go, but don't know whether it's valuable use case: some months ago I raised the same question (github.com/yiisoft/queue/issues/194) on Yii Queue repo without success.
Or possible it may be done straightforward (themsaid.com/using-golangs-coroutines-to-handle-laravel-jobs) and does not require any additional framework/library/package
What do you think?

I can not use urls (first day on the board), sorry you need to add https:// by yourself
Does Laravel need Foreign (non-PHP) Workers for Laravel Queue
added bold for clarification
Answer: no.
Laravel ships with a PHP worker implementation. So it doesn't need a foreign worker to have its queues running.
On the other hand, asking if "Would a non-PHP Laravel queue worker be useful?"
Then, I'd say that depending on the workload, or if it adds features not yet present, then I'd say to give it a go (pun intended).
it would be quite a lot of work since Laravel's queue uses serialised php objects , and eloquent to hydrare models etc
You would probably need to create a bridge that takes php data and converts it to some other queue format
