Don't you make backups?
I use async for everything, and add noatime for /var/news.
I never had a corrupt filesystem in 2 years of using FreeBSD (I did
while using Linux b.t.w.).
If I have, I can restore my system in an hour.
It makes no sense to have less performance, just to lessen the chance
for a filesystem corruption that might happen once in a year, and that
can be restored in little time if you need to.
I think the default should be changed. Many users now have inferior
performance for no good reason.
