Author here, we did this, first by continuing the research alongside the creation of the Unikraft LF OSS project -- the result of which was the Eurosys 2021 best paper award (https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3447786.3456248). Commercially, we leverage Unikraft on kraft.cloud to provide a cloud platform with millisecond semantics.
Yes, in fact we have some early support for Firecracker, where we can at least boot some basic Unikraft images with it (e.g., see page 10 of this paper[0], FIgure 10, where we get the shortest boot times with Firecracker). We're still missing networking supporto on FC, which we're working on. [0] https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3447786.3456248
