This is really cool. I didn't know about either of them; thank you for posting.
No prob. I'm reasonably confident that there are other multiple projects that have also done this; I just tried to list what looked like the most-currently-viable ones.

The first I think I remember seeing chronologically was FIFE, which IIRC was renamed from some slightly-different acronym from when it was intended to only run Fallout games. It looks like they've focused on becoming a generic RPG engine:
https://www.fifengine.net/
It sounds like they may have not taken it to full playability of the first two games; IIRC, the original intention was to do so:
https://falloutmod.fandom.com/wiki/FIFE
Then there's Falltergeist:
https://github.com/falltergeist/falltergeist
But the last GitHub commit was three years ago, and the main site's last blog update was in 2018.
There's darkfo:
https://github.com/darkf/darkfo
However, the last commit was six years ago.
There's Harold, which is apparently a project continuing darkfo:
https://github.com/OldGamesLab/Harold
Its last commit was three years ago.
There's Fallout Equestria Reloaded
which apparently is some sort of unholy mating between My Little Pony and Fallout:
https://github.com/Plaristote/fallout-equestria-reloaded
I don't think that the goal was so much to play Fallout as to use the assets to bootstrap a playable MLP RPG.
There have been commits in the past two months, so apparently someone is actually seriously plugging away.
Then there's FOnline, another engine reimplementation, this one intended to be played multiplayer online:
https://github.com/cvet/fonline
Looks active.
