I agree as well and I expressed that on mingw-w64 ML when the patch was introduced [1]. My main concern with the new threading model is that instead of solving root of the problem, it introduces more fragmentation with no clear benefit.
On top of that, mcfgthread library is way more invasive than it needs to be. It requires maintaining per-thread struct and reimplements a number of things instead of leveraging OS capabilities. Author also plans to make invasive changes to mingw-w64-crt, which go against it current approach of being agnostic to threading model.
