from the filesystem perspective, the data is always consistent no matter how much it gets corrupted.

Yes, many file system designers only care about metadata consistency. Note how doublefs is suggested as a replacement for copy-on-write filesystems, even though doublefs only duplicates the metadata; with update-in-place for data, I don't really see an efficient way to guarantee that the data is consistent.
