This does seem like a reasonable thing to backport, yeah.
The patch does not actually apply to v249.11 cleanly, but from a quick look around this is just because of some re-factoring and moving things around. So it should be simple to adapt the patch for the v249.11 codebase.
I will look into patching and testing this out myself. I don't currently have access to Oracle OCI, however.
