I believe this advantage is currently mostly theoretical, as the code ultimately gets compiled with LLVM which does not fully utilize all the additional optimization opportunities.

LLVM doesn't fully utilize all the power, but it does use an increasing amount every year. Flang and Rust have both given LLVM plenty of example code and a fair number of contributors who want to make LLVM work better for them.
