A few "solutions" exist:

Use Op instead - of course there is no Op exporter from sources or
Linux client -- but these could be rectified with work.

If used v9fs run with cache=loose or cache=fscache both of which
enables caching meta-data.

Convince the Linux community to fix ls -  I think the kernel supports
Plan 9 style dirread now (there were some bug reports against v9fs
suggesting a plan 9 style dirread was possible) but tools haven't yet
been updated.

Submit a patch to 9pfuse and/or v9fs providing optional (mount time)
1s cache on metadata.
