I looked at 9p as a NFS/SMB replacement some time ago for a project, and benchmarks seems scarce. I did find this[1] set of benchmarks but it's from 2005. I also found this[2] from 2016 which points out some performance barriers, and it doesn't sound like an easy fix without some new extensions. However there's also this[3] post from 2022 about some patches suggesting a 10x improvement in Linux 9p performance. Would be interesting to see how things are these days.

There is Harvey OS, it's a direct descendant of Plan9 and they accept donations. https://github.com/Harvey-OS/harvey The development seems active, the last commit was made 7 hours ago. Last time I checked the project was still in its early stages. Docs and stability have improved a lot since then. Sidenote: I think 9P protocol and plan9 userland like ACME editor is available on linux.
In Plan9-9k: 64-bit Plan 9
