My main use case would be a generic Proactor for file descriptors, hence my
concern over a lack of support from sockets.

If I'm understanding you correctly, libeio doesn't fit Proactor semantics.
That said, I entirely agree that both patterns (I/O completions vs.
readiness notifications) need do be accessible alongside each other, as
there's use cases for both.
