I would say "not yet supported publicly" is a pretty big caveat — especially because neither Eden nor Mononoke (according to the README) actually build if you only have access to the open-source tools. Not sure if I'd call source dumps that don't successfully build "almost everything you need" ;)

I'm not holding my breath either; EdenFS was open-sourced many years ago with broken-for-OSS builds IIRC; it doesn't seem like there's much urgency in getting it buildable using tools available to non-Meta-employees.

Check GitHub actions. Mononoke OSS currently builds and EdenFS did a month or so ago. Not claiming it’s perfect, but the OSS versions are buildable
Oh interesting — the README says they don't, but it must be outdated. Pleasantly surprised to hear they build now, albeit inconsistently.
EdenFS Linux building now as well, problem was some minor python 3.8 incompatibility in a test
