The support for Fate is so poor, that it doesn't even have its own sub-forum in the Other Game Systems section. It needs far more support, if you want people to use FGU when they play using Fate. For example:


There are only two books released in the marketplace.
The character sheet is not really designed well. Fate is like a toolbox, so the sheet needs to be very flexible. Now for example there is no way to add new Stress tracks.
The NPC sheet is so bad that my guess is that it was made by someone who has never played Fate. It doesn't even have the most important section Aspects.
There is no support for Fate specific mechanisms such as Zones and Situational Aspects.

I don't think Fate is one of the Smiteworks supported rulesets (in fact I can't even find a link to a ruleset - juts a couple of extensions). As such it's reliant on a community developer taking on the project. So, unfortunately, unless someone steps forward there's not a great deal that can be done.

The ruleset is available her: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/store/product.php?id=EHP0001EFG2

SmiteWorks will support the product in terms of break/fix but, ss Zacchaeus mentions, any feature updates would rely on a community developer taking on the updates.
