I agree it's a long way off. I went to a conference in early 2000's and everyone was hyped for it.

Honestly I think you'd see better improvement by focusing on increasing yields in plants that are already C4 (like corn, as you mentioned). There are plenty of grass derivatives like sugarcane that are already C4 and also established crops.
