Is there any changelog to it also or it was just made officially available again?
although last online status was 22 AUG 2020, so anyone else can confirm anything about it?
I'd just be cautious without confirmation.
@OldSurferDude well, the ESP8266 is limited to 4 TCP clients in arduino IDE. This can't be really increased. I did som experiments and you can set it up to 15, but after the 5th client on my web server, I got a freeze.
Maybe you got something wrong. #define MY_GATEWAY_MAX_CLIENTS 2 defines how many controllers (eg Home Assistant) can connect to the gateway, not how many sensors/MySensors devices.
And yes, you can have multiple TCP gateways in HomeAssistant. I got an NRF24, an RFM95 long range and a RFM95 short range gateway (all based on ESP32) on the same Home Assistant.

Just for completeness: the right way to do this is to add the json under ~/.platformio/boards and the other files as described in https://community.platformio.org/t/how-use-a-same-chip-but-with-different-environment/18082/4
I found procedure gatewayTransportInit(), it works great. However, I cannot find a procedure that will enable detection of a network connection at level mysensors. I noticed that disconnecting the network plug or resetting the W5500 (37 pin to ground) changes the device's IP address to 0.0.0.0 - then I call gatewayTransportInit() - but mysensor's library must have such procedures - please tell me how to diagnose ethernet connection.
