Remacs is supposed to be an in-place re-write, so it should be just as usable as upstream.

Wow, I should try it then :)

OTOH, being an in-place rewrite, it likely cannot afford to change some of the more important architectural decisions, very likely including the ones that prevent multithreading.

Well, yes and no; the more that gets into Rust, the more that can be refactored. I don’t know much about the details though.
