It looks there was a copr for a custom kernel-fsync and projects like Bazzite or Nobara are adding patches.
From my understanding the fsync patches were never upstreamed.

The common gaming-focused Wine/Proton builds can also use esync (eventfd-based synchronization). IIRC, it doesn't need a patched kernel.
The point being that these massive speed gains will probably not be seen by most people as you suggest, because most Linux gamers already have access to either esync or fsync.
