The first author of the preprint [0] discussed by Scott Aaronson (Stephen Jordan) is also the maintainer of the quantum algorithms zoo [1], which tracks all of the quantum algorithms that have any kind of advantage over classical ones. It's still pretty bleak, not a lot of big wins for quantum algorithms, even assuming we had working hardware. As far as I know, Shor's algorithm is still the best one, after all these years.
