Unfortunately, their implementation has a lot of other performance problems and, worse, it's not even available under a GPL compatible license.

On the NAND flash with a software translation layer: / rootfs ro,relatime /mnt/.lfs j4fs rw,relatime /system rfs ro,relatime /dbdata rfs rw,relatime /cache rfs rw,relatime
On the internal SD device: /data rfs rw /mnt/sdcard vfat rw,dirsync,noatime,nodiratime /mnt/sdcard/external_sd vfat rw,dirsync,noatime,nodiratime
Thus, rfs and normal vfat are both used. The rfs description reminded me of the phase tree FAT implementation that was going around a long time ago.
The software translation for the NAND flash is GPL.
