Modulating fan speed on Oryx Pro? (alien.top)

The fan speed curve on the Oryx Pro is wild. It seems to have basically two speeds: jet engine takeoff and dead silent. Is there a way to control this better that doesn't involve editing firmware? I see some posts from earlier this year on this topic but wondering if the situation has evolved — I don't really want to do something that won't be well-supported.

I am not sure if System76 tests fan-speed control before shipping. A lot of people report being burned by this.
