And yet this didn't stop Apple from automatically converting HFS+ volumes to APFS in iOS 10.3 and macOS 10.13.0 soon after the APFS beta dropped in macOS 10.12.5 and it didn't stop Apple from requiring APFS for all volumes in macOS 10.14+. Apple must have been pretty confident that APFS was working reliably to be so bold.

Not sure why you are telling me this, I don't know anything about Apple's internal development process. I assume they did run a lot of tests. But I recall at least one serious bug early on too[0].
