The main emacs-gpu branch doesn't have wayland support.
The downside is the encoding size. LEB128 quickly grows to 2 bytes, but stays at 2 bytes all the way to 2^14. This is important if you're using these numbers as tags/identifiers as we were in the multicodec [1] project, or for network message lengths. bijou64 only gives you 500 <= 2 byte numbers.
I'd be more likely to believe them if they had already implemented this feature on their Pixel phones, but they haven't so I expect it probably isn't "done".

I.e., 18-20 can speak to 16-17 AND 21+, but 21+ can only speak to 18+

I assume they're applying the same technique going forward, but I have no idea how to determine if this is the case.
Ironically, I believe you have it backwards: pack files, git's solution to the "too many tiny files" problem, are the issue here; not the tiny files themselves.
In my experience, incremental backup software works best with many small files that never change. Scanning is usually just a matter of checking modification times and moving on. This isn't fast, but it's fast enough for backups and can be optimized by monitoring for file changes in a long-running daemon.
However, lots of mostly identical files ARE an issue for filesystems as they tend to waste a lot of space. Git solves this issue by packing these small objects into larger pack files, then compressing them.
Unfortunately, it's those pack files that cause issues for backup software: any time git "garbage collects" and creates new pack files, it ends up deleting and creating a bunch of large files filled with what looks like random data (due to compression). Constantly creating/deleting large files filled with random data wreaks havoc on incremental/deduplicating backup systems.
* If you need a "real" terminal emulator, you can use something like vterm (https://github.com/akermu/emacs-libvterm/).
* If you need to be able to attach/detach Emacs sessions on remote machines, you can use something like dtach or abducto (https://www.brain-dump.org/projects/abduco/).
