There have been plenty of similar techniques (esync and fsync) in Proton for years. That’s basically why the work was started to get this into Wine in the first place.
The way I understand it this is proper support in the kernel and Wine. So you will still get some improvement. But it won’t be any way nearly as large as the article suggests.
I bet those patches are already in Proton-GE or at least GE is likely already working on adding them. For Valve’s Proton I suspect they will be added for version 11 or 12 at the latest.
