Would be interested to see a comparison with other not-NFS things (Lustre, daos, etc).
User space filesystem is not the first thing that comes to my mind when trying to get faster performance than NFS

You can get dozens of GB/s out of FUSE nowadays. This will even improve in the near future as FUSE is adding io_uring support for communication with the kernel (instead of a pipe).
But, as sibling is pointing out, e.g. Amazon fsx Lustre throughput is like 1GB/s throughout per TB storage, so presumably hundreds of GB/s at scale.
A well configured and distributed Lustre will be very fast, BTW.
