As it happens, current versions of my own application should be safe from

Pragmatically, it is much easier to change the file system once, than
to test or change the zillions of applications that might be broken.
Yes, and particularly because fsync() can be very expensive. At one
time fsync() was the same as sync() for ZFS. Presumably it is
improved by now.
