But do you understand that even in a replicated setup the time interval
when data reaches permanent storage might be significantly long and
according to your assumptions is random and unpredictable.

In other words, without fsync() it's not possible to make any judgments
about consistency of your data, consequently it's not possible to
implement a program, that tells if your data is consistent or not.

Don't you think that your arguments are fundamentally flawed because you
insist on probabilistic nature of the problem, while it is actually
deterministic?

By the way, even LevelDB has options for synchronous writes:

https://github.com/google/leveldb/blob/master/doc/index.md#synchronous-writes

and it implements them with fsync()

Bitcoin Core varies these options depending on operation mode (see
src/validation.cpp, src/txdb.cpp, src/dbwrapper.cpp).

Oh, I forgot, Bitcoin it's nonsense...
