So, this does not only affect custom kernels < 4.8 or partial upgrades
still using the jessie kernel, it basically affects every system using
LVM/DM when being upgraded to stretch on first shutdown/reboot as we
still have the old jessie kernel running but we use systemd-shutdown
from 232/stretch.

Can you elaborate where and how such data corruption can happen?
Not being able to shutdown/detach all DM devices has been the case for
basically forever in Debian (most prominent example if / is on LVM).
I've never seen data corruption as a result of this.
