Why wouldn't you want safe writes? Is that like saying, and if you care for your data?
You don't fsync every write on a local disk. Why demand it over NFS where the server is probably less likely to crash than the writing node? That's like saying you don't care about speed - or you can afford a 10x faster array just for the once-in-several-years you might see a crash.
