Ok, it turns out you need the filesystem mount sync to use softupdates.

My understanding was: softupdates are faster then sync and safer
then sync. Is not async still faster, even at the expense of safety?

Will I be able to combine async and softupdates in the future and why
would I want to?

Thanks a lot!
