I did send several patches for this bug, which implement change notifications
through libinotify-kqueue. The hard part was translating fds to paths when a
change is detected:

Racy, path can change outside Wine.

https://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2021-December/202494.html
No feedback.

Even with those patches, some change.ok tests still fail, because the way
libinotify-kqueue is implemented, it takes some time for a notification to come
through, whereas on Linux inotify notifications are synchronous, appearing
before return from the system call affecting the file. I don't know how much
this is a problem in practice. I reported it upstream:
