Kind of like this:

function cmpstat () {
    file=$1
    declare -A st stx

    # Read the stat output
    coproc { xfs_io -c "open -P $file" -c "stat -r" | sed -e s/://; }
    while read tag val
    do
	st[$tag]=$val
    done <&${COPROC[0]}
    wait || exit $?

    # Read the statx output
    coproc { xfs_io -c "open -P $file" -c "statx" | sed -e s/://; }
    while read tag val
    do
	stx[$tag]=$val
    done <&${COPROC[0]}
    wait || exit $?

    # Compare them
    for key in ${!stx[*]}
    do
	if [ "${stx[$key]}" != "${st[$key]}" ]
	then
	    case $key in
		stat.mask|stat.attributes|stat.btime.tv_*)
		    # Not supported in stat
		    ;;
		*)
		    echo differ $key "${stx[$key]}" != "${st[$key]}"
		    ;;
	    esac
	fi
    done
}

cmpstat /
