> Let's async all the things IO and not pay attention to database integrity and reliably fsync'ing with storage

I am not sure how does this affect database integrity or reliably fsync-ing

for e.g. TigerBeetle is another rock solid database which uses async IO. I mentioning it because it is way more mature than Limbo and does a great job at durability

IIUC this is only about read performance. It's totally fine to async all your reads as long as (like SQLite does) you have a Reader-Writer lock and verify integrity properly on writes.

Jepsen will have interesting things to say as well.
