The torrenting app will just consume all the extra space, leaving just as little for gaming as there was before.

totally untrue. fq_codel manages normal torrents just fine in the presence of gamer-style traffic. We tested against torrents in fixing bufferbloat a lot! Pure aqm systems like pie (in docsis 3.1) do pretty well also. cake (per host fq) can make even insane amounts of torrenting (or slashdotting!) bearable.

I think you misunderstood the above poster who was talking about the case without SQM (or I'm misunderstanding things because I've never heard any of these terms before now).
