Boom would be lovely for LAX/SFO to Singapore if the range allowed it. That could take some of the higher end traffic away from middle eastern carriers to the region.
I don't see it doing so well for the middle eastern markets, ultra long hauls on average spend a lot of time flying over land (minus the Australian flights) - for example, see LAX-DXB whose only water crossing is the arctic ocean, where supersonic might not be allowed for ice preservation purposes https://flightaware.com/live/flight/UAE216/history/20220815/2350Z/KLAX/OMDB https://flightaware.com/live/flight/UAE216/history/20220815/... , DXB-Tokyo which is almost entirely land: https://flightaware.com/live/flight/UAE318/history/20220815/2250Z/OMDB/RJAA https://flightaware.com/live/flight/UAE318/history/20220815/... , or DXB-Cape Town, which again is mostly over land: https://flightaware.com/live/flight/UAE772/history/20220816/0000Z/OMDB/FACT https://flightaware.com/live/flight/UAE772/history/20220816/...
