In theory yes but I still fear that the threadvars and synchronization

I suppose the (high level) synchronization will be rather complex and
eat performance.
The low level threadvar implementation is known to be improvable. AFAIR,
it uses library calls as well in Windows as in Linux while the
appropriate C compilers use segment registers (on x86 / x86-64) which
are documented in Linux and undocumented in Windows and supposedly a lot
faster.
OTOH, are Theradvars necessary to be used very frequently (i.e. more
than when creating thread-specific objects, that then can be used to
access the thread specific data) ?
