Aside for onload being open source, not really. AF_XDP is the generalized, hardware agnostic, version of kernel bypass.
In addition to bypass onload also provides a full IP/TCP user space stack and non-intrusive support for existing binaries using the standard BSD socket interface (incidentally onload also supports XDP now).
io_uring is really for asynchronous communication with the kernel.
