I think this will depend on the geographical location and peoples' culture and eating practices as well as their préférences in terms of processing techniques.
If trial as you mentionned, then the acceptability should be studied and awarness well raise!
Yes, prof Fahim Shaltout fermentation is known to increase protein content of food, but i was just thinking that meat is alredy reach in protein. So i will be happy to have a view from researchers in other parts of the world who are already fermenting meat as a commercial product. wish to try it myself.

In fact, there is a tendency and many studies towards the use of bio-preservation methods instead of traditional methods of preservation, which are safer for the consumer and also preserve the nutritional value of food that is affected by chemical and physical preservation methods.
Starter cultures are an important tool that contributes to ensure the safety of fermented meat products. Indeed, the microorganisms that constitute starter cultures may inhibit or reduce the growth of spoilage and/or pathogenic populations thus, the use of starter cultures may reduce the need for chemical additives, such as nitrites and nitrates. Furthermore, and based on the following RG link, starter cultures has an ability to metabolize residual nitrates and nitrites in fermented meat products:
