OpenBSD is doing this for a while:
MOUNT(8) OpenBSD System Manager's Manual MOUNT(8)
...
-o options
Options are specified with a -o flag followed by a comma separat-
ed string of options. Available options are as follows:
....
softdep
(FFS only.) Mount the filesystem using soft dependen-
cies. Instead of metadata being written immediately, it
is written in an ordered fashion to keep the on-disk
state of the filesystem consistent. This results in sig-
nificant speedups for file create/delete operations.
This option will be ignored when using the -u flag and a
filesystem is already mounted read/write. It requires
option FFS_SOFTUPDATES to be enabled in the running ker-
nel.
