I wonder since fetal hemoglobin has stronger binding with oxygen which means the blood can oxygenate faster if this can be used for other issues as well like reduced lung capacity and performance enhancement.

Yes but it also holds onto oxygen more tightly, making it difficult to released to cells that need it. There's no performance enhancement here.
