Any Fedora that would run SANE/SSHD on an ancient 486sx with 8MB RAM?

It sounds like you've already decided on a solution. That said, the
predecessor to Fedora was Red Hat Linux. Version 7.3 was excellent for
it's day, and I believe it would run on a 486. Red Hat split into what
we know as Fedora and RHEL after Red Hat v9. Though v8 and 9 marked
their switch to Gnome (from Enlightenment) and, iirc, had much heavier
footprints.
