IPset gives an option of renaming sets. Is there any similar facility
to do that in nft with sets and maps?
I couldn't manage to find any.

I think that your only option is to create new set, change rules referring to old set, and delete old set.
Can be done as an atomic change in one transaction.

In ipset its normally used for atomic updates, but nftables
sets are always updated atomically.
