I tried using klibc-utils from the ppa (containing the patch):
root@ubuntu:~# sudo apt-cache policy klibc-utils
klibc-utils:
Installed: 2.0.4-9ubuntu2.18.04.1

[1] But now when I try to obtain an IP using dhcp without specifying any
timeout, it dumps lots of "Lowered timeout to match user request"
messages. Is that expected?

[2] Other than that, it worked well. We can see from the pastebin below
that the timeout is getting respected:
https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/TJbCzx7hFC/
[3] And also the main issue was the timeout being ignored when not receiving
any reply from a DHCP Server, which is now also getting honored:

I will try to test this package in a OCI BM.GPU4.8 instance to see the
improvements with the main optimization, but it would be good to get
clarification on [1]
