Hasn't been mentioned directly in the PR 8680 but after the PR there should be support available for this feature on the best-effort level. It was working for me on 1 queue but I had issues getting it to work with multiple queues.
I've tested both virtio-net (Virtualbox) and virtio-user (Qemu) backends.
