Can you run network stack at 40 Gbps on those ports?

Yes, but as stated in the article only on macOS or Linux on non-Macs. Not with Linux on Macs unfortunately. Someone needs to scrutinize the Intel-developed code for non-Macs, figure out how to port it to Andreas Noever's driver, and fill in the missing parts by reversing the macOS driver.

Also, the Alpine Ridge controllers are attached with PCIe 3.0 4x lanes, that's 31.504 GBit/s, so you can't exhaust the available bandwidth fully.
