LVM thin is that layer currently - you can "create 1TB volume, with initial 10GB allocation", under any filesystem. It would be more usable with a bit more integration - e.g. if the filesystem could report "90% used (out of 10GB available space)" rather than "0.9% used (out of 1TB virtual space)" - but it does work.

That's pretty much exactly what I've been proposing - the small mods to the filesystem I talked about and pointed to the patch series from 2017 are exactly the mods needed for the fs to 'report "90% used (out of 10GB available space)"'....
