I personally started a new framework and I went for io_uring for simplicity, that is already giving most of what I need -- asynchronous I/O with no context switching. DPDK is huge and inflexible, it does a lot of things which I'd rather be in control of myself and I think it's easier to just do my own userspace vfio.
