The accessibility features remain available from Settings.

Evidence

Strong evidenceExpected impact:Noticeable

Strong evidence means: documented by microsoft or consistently measurable. Expected impact is noticeable (2 of 3): how much it can matter when this is actually the bottleneck on your PC, not a promised gain.

Is it in a pack?

Yes. It's in the Gaming performance pack, so that pack and Optimize everything include it. You can still untick it in the review screen.

How to undo

Switch the tweak off in Nexus, or open Restore Center and restore this change (or choose Undo last change). Nexus writes back the original value it recorded before applying, not a generic default, then reads it back to confirm.

Like applying it, undoing it takes full effect after you sign out and back in.

Apply it safely with Nexus

Preview the exact change, apply it with its original value recorded, and undo it in one click if you change your mind.
