As you've said trying to stick CRUD on the concept of "workflow" is hard.

Have you reflected about the concept of worklist ? What are your use
cases ? Do you want workitems to wait for manipulations by other
systems (users ?) ?

You're not tied to have 1 unique concept to slap CRUD on top of. Other
concept you can use : "worklist" / "workitem" / "participant" / ...
