That was about kqueue, but in macOS there is the FSEvents monitor:
The FSEvents monitor, available only on Apple macOS, has no known
limitations and scales very well with the number of files being
observed. In fact, I observed no performance degradation when testing
fswatch observing changes on a filesystem of 500 GB over long periods
of time. This is the default monitor on Apple macOS.
So this seems to be an option, either directly or through fswatch.
