No async io framework exists which utilizes everything io_uring can, they are all build around the poll model. As such io_uring will always be worse than the poll like abstractions.

The two things that make io_uring fast are chaining of operations and zero syscall mode, the former would require that all async io frameworks/libs would need to be rewritten to make use of that and then all user facing apps would also need to be rewritten since all you’d get now are completions to operations instead of waiting if you can run a operation.
