Should? Something like before/after for benchmark numbers, flamegraphs
would be really good to have, without those it's rather hard to discuss
this, and I'd like to avoid having to do those, or check the inner workings
of the affected fuse userspace/kernel code paths here myself.

I'd prefer that. At least if done with the future PVE 9.0, as I do not think
it's a good idea in the middle of a stable release cycle.
FWIW, some Debian Devs also want to push the fuse 2 to 3 migration forward
[0]. So, sooner or later we have to switch over pmxcfs anyway, and there's
already a POC from Fabian [1].
