I did apply the patch, and it seems to be working OK (so no longer "completely untested", just "mostly untested").
But if fixing this issue is as simple as setting
fsp->fsp_flags.posix_open = true;
in a Share, why not make that a configuration option?
(I assume that macOS's Time Machine is not the only client that relied on fruit:posix_rename, just the most common one.)
