Are the WiFi drivers for popular Android phones upstreamed? I see these changes potentially making a big impact on public wifis where phones are very often used, unless I'm misunderstanding this and this is strictly concerning the AP side of things, not the client.

you are misunderstanding this :)

at least in the sense that, I don't think phones with too-large transmit buffers would degrade the experience of other stations on the same network. And such phones will still benefit from improved behaviour of the AP, in the packets they _receive_.
