While performance has improved over many releases, cache pools still don't
do well on most workloads that most people use them for. As a result we've
moved away from their current implementation; we continue to run their
tests and don't merge code which fails them, but bugs which pop up in the
community or are intermittent get a lot less attention than other areas of
RADOS do.

Oh yes, you are more susceptible to top-of-rack switch failures in this
case or whatever. It's just one option — many people are less concerned
about their switches than their hard drives, especially since two lost
switches are an accessibility but not a durability issue.
