It can be useful even for cases when you use adaptive sync, for example when game's framerate is higher than monitor's max refresh rate.

I never really looked into it. Does it work on Linux or it was never implemented?

From reading about it, it seems it can be similar to Vulkan mailbox presentation mode. But I'd be interested in some expert opinion on it.

It also has mailbox mode (which sounds a lot like that image) and an adaptive mode.

Ah, yes it has a few options. But I don't think you need libstrangle for mailbox at least? You can simply do something like:
MESA_VK_WSI_PRESENT_MODE=mailbox
What is adaptive mode? Isn't it a regular adaptive sync? I.e. why do you need a layer for that?

No idea what adaptive mode does exactly. Nothing the libstrange readme doesn't explain things in detail.
Sounds like the 3d pic is mailbox + freesync. Does freesync work independent of the vsync setting?

Besides mailbox (enhanced sync?) and fifo (classic vsync?) there is also something called "fifo relaxed".
