I did a quick pass, will take a close look later today. So far everything makes
sense to me.

Should we properly test it as well?
We have tools/testing/selftests/bpf/prog_tests/sockopt.c which does
most of the sanity checks, but it uses regular socket/{g,s}etsockopt
syscalls. Seems like it should be pretty easy to extend this with
io_uring path? tools/testing/selftests/net/io_uring_zerocopy_tx.c
already implements minimal wrappers which we can most likely borrow.
