That's all fine and good but features mean nothing if you don't have faith in the underlying filesystem.
People have been burnt by Btrfs and just don't trust it's design. BcacheFS now has the best chance of

of playing the "it's getting better, we promise" game.  Hence the Stratis strategy.  It's a wise approach.
