I benchmarked the suggested with perfplot and found that the good old

x | y   # Python 3.9+

is the fastest solution together with the good old

{**x, **y}

and

temp = x.copy()
temp.update(y)

Code to reproduce the plot:

from collections import ChainMap
from itertools import chain
import perfplot


def setup(n):
    x = dict(zip(range(n), range(n)))
    y = dict(zip(range(n, 2 * n), range(n, 2 * n)))
    return x, y


def copy_update(x, y):
    temp = x.copy()
    temp.update(y)
    return temp


def add_items(x, y):
    return dict(list(x.items()) + list(y.items()))


def curly_star(x, y):
    return {**x, **y}


def chain_map(x, y):
    return dict(ChainMap({}, y, x))


def itertools_chain(x, y):
    return dict(chain(x.items(), y.items()))


def python39_concat(x, y):
    return x | y


b = perfplot.bench(
    setup=setup,
    kernels=[
        copy_update,
        add_items,
        curly_star,

    labels=[

        "{**x, **y}",
