This is one of things Scoring platform team wanted to tackle because having
RC patrolling enabled for a wiki + ORES predications can improve efficiency
of the patrollers significantly but we didn't have community relations
resources to start the discussion with communities and get it approved.
Maybe Growth team can take a look? I know they have a lot on their plate
already...
One ticket I found, I think there are more:

In regards to wgUseRCPatrol - I suspect (but

that was disabled on enwiki as a performance thing. If it was a

Sadly, no. It was enabled as a new feature to help communities do their
patrolling work. A small handful on enwiki power users complained in the
hours after it was deployed about the "disruption" (the appearance of a !
on edits in Recent Changes), and rather than help the community adjust to
the new software and find it useful, the feature was disabled, effectively
permanently. In the subsequent years, many English Wikipedians have
complained about the lack of support for their work on Recent Changes
patrolling, but there's been no effort to struggle through the community
arguments to (re-)enable this tool, I believe.
It would be lovely if we could enable this feature on the English Wikipedia
given how useful many other communities have found this, but I don't expect
it to happen.
