Theoretically (and not unlikely also in practice), it seems to be still
broken.
This can also confirmed by compiling with -fsanitize=thread:

It can probably be optimized by relaxing some of the barrier

but it probably makes no practical difference in execution time.
Perhaps apply this to jack, at least to avoid uncertainty about whether it
