You have definitely put some serious work into this patch.
I need to double check the diff and provide my feedback on
Phabricator, but I would definitely like this to go in.

For the purposes of using this with akuma + Jenkins, I think it is too
early to encourage third party libraries to start using a libxo'ified
procstat,
because this is not in any released version of FreeBSD.

However, this is definitely the direction I would like to see more
utilities in the base system
move towards.  It definitely makes it easier to pull FreeBSD system
information into
third party scripts and libraries.
