Looking at the issue tracker it sounds like they've made significant progress since then.

Progress update, https://eshard.com/posts/emulating-ios-14-with-qemu-part2
iOS emulated in QEMU with: • Restore / Boot • Software rendering • Kernel and userspace debugging • Pairing with the host • Serial / SSH access • Multitouch • Network • Install and run any arbitrary IPA

  The eShard thing and this GitHub are fairly different, as far as I know.
  The eShard people found an earlier version of this repository and set about patching one billion parts of the iOS kernel, library cache, and userland to make it run on the limited emulator.
  Meanwhile, the actual emulator has been advancing, arguably more quickly than the eShard patch set.
  The current set of patches needed for the latest commits on this repo to run iOS are less than 10 instructions, all to enable the software-rendering/framebuffer fallback code path instead of trying to use display drivers.

  Presumably to build a exploit test framework.
