Without reading the research publication itself, it is hard to know if the 'hype' is real or not.
This article only said in the experiment maize with the mutant Scarecrow genes grew with problems in the roots, and "the leaves of Scarecrow mutants had abnormal and proliferated bundle sheath cells and irregular veins."

The C3 and C4 categories are real. Cornell has a reputable ag college. I suspect this article is credible.

Increased CO2 is already doing its bit to increase crop yields but increased efficiency in using the CO2 would be a boon to farmers.

Of course, another way of increasing crop yields would be to higher carbon-dioxide levels of the past. Oh, wait...
