Around EuroBSDcon 2025 I asked Henning Brauer about claims that OpenBSD
has a “bad” filesystem compared to Linux or FreeBSD.
His response was essentially: don’t worry about it, just use the system.
If the machine loses power, let fsck do its job and continue.
After about a year of use, including a few unclean shutdowns, I haven’t
encountered any filesystem-related issues that would make me question
His advice.

I've noticed fsck and FFSv2 have become increasingly more stable in the
past few releases. Glad you noticed it too <3
