Space Manifolds: How useful for space exploration?

Can Space Manifolds be used to send probes to other planets more effectively
than current gravity-assist methods?

Accessing the arches of chaos in the solar system for fast transport

"In a new report now published on Science Advances, Nataša Todorović
and a team of researchers in Serbia and the U.S. revealed a notable and
unexpected ornamental structure of manifolds in the solar system. This
architecture was connected in a series of arches spreading from the
asteroid belt to Uranus and beyond. The strongest manifolds were found
linked to Jupiter with profound control on small bodies across a wide and
previously unknown range of three-body energies. The orbits of these
manifolds encountered Jupiter on rapid time-scales to transform into
collisional or escaping trajectories to reach Neptune's distance merely
within a decade. In this way, much like a celestial highway, all planets
generate similar manifolds across the solar system for fast transport
throughout."

I suspect that if any of the storyline in the scifi serial "The Expanse"
comes true these will be very carefully mapped out and exploited to the
max. After all there is only so much water one can haul around the solar
system as propellant, nuclear thermal propulsion or not.
