Ah, but if we're not talking 6DOF what's new with ml-sharp? We've had good autostereoscopy for a couple of years at least.

I agree

Seems not to be the case in my testing. The splats are too fine and sparse to yield an improvement. There are actually better (slower) image -> splat models than ml-sharp (with much higher dynamic range for the covariance) but I still don't use them over meshes for this.
The only improvements ml-sharp seems to add to the SOTA is 1) speed and 2) an interesting 2-focal layer architecture, but these are somewhat tangential steps.
