Okay. My primary objective was to enable UTF-8 support but AFAICS it is
still not available in upstream coreutils. Do you think that we can pull
the patch from Gentoo people, assuming that they improved and tested it
for a while now?

Assuming that all the previous objections to the patch have been addressed, sure. If it's still the same kind of half-measure that got shot down before (and wasn't accepted into coreutils for a reason), then no. (IMO, it's better to have no UTF-8 support than UTF-8 support that is fundamentally broken and which will cause inexplicable bugs.)
