Run Multiple servers on one world.

Hi, i am building a server and want to spread out the world across multiple servers, with each server hosting a section of the map for horizontal scalability.
For convenience reasons it would be nice to have all the servers access the same world folder and have each server just load the chunks that it needs from there.
If anyone knows how to achieve this or has an idea how to do this it would be nice to share.
Currently i am running Paper 1.20.1
I have tried to do this with a symlink but with limited success: the server are all able to connect to the same world, but only one server at a time. If one server is running and i try to start a second one, it wont start.
Thanks.
