Is it possible to make footnotes appear somewhere other than the bottom of the document?
With RST you can use rubric: footnotes to make footnotes appear wherever you want. Is it possible to do this in MyST? It seems to only put them at the bottom of the document.
Also would https://github.com/executablebooks/MyST-Parser/issues/164 make "rubric: footenotes" do what I want, or would MyST still try to put the footnotes at the bottom?
No, not at present, all footnotes are gathered during parsing, then output at the end of the document in https://github.com/executablebooks/MyST-Parser/blob/877b80cd64cd254abe965b4cfb6b0c7abe2b29ab/myst_parser/docutils_renderer.py#L67
Do you have an example of the kind of outcome you are looking to achieve?

I generate the table as a rst list table https://github.com/asmeurer/brown-water-python/blob/master/docs/exact_type_table.py. It would be possible, though a little more annoying, to do this with a Markdown table, but I would prefer to keep the footnotes next to the table as they are now.
Yep sounds reasonable; I have done something similar with tables in latex. Ideally what I think you would want here is a "scoped" footnote section, i.e. at the bottom of your table, you only want footnotes from that table, not footnotes before or after the table
