Does this turn Linux into a RTOS that can do stuff like control the ECU or traction control for a motorcycle?

From what I'm hearing: yes

But you'd still be crazy to use it for either of those purposes, given how safety critical they are. I expect it would be more likely used in robots like Spot, or manufacturing robots.

Yea, given how new it is i probably wouldn't trust it for something that important. But in-theory it's meant to handle that type of embedded system
