"… Single-cluster, symmetric (SMP) systems can run with just the Clutch policy, but multi-cluster, asymmetric (AMP) systems must further enable the Edge policy extension to Clutch in order to manage scheduling across the multiple CPU clusters. …"
I meant "primarily this copies mechanism is targeted towards multiple devices setup".
With a single SSD it's indeed prone to the caveat which was pointed out; even if not due to being mapped to same storage "area" but also because SSDs often fail completely.
Also makes sense to note that __when__ narrowed to a single-disk setup ZFS' can be interchanged with Btrfs; almost same set of features but lesser overhead and complexity.
In fact here's the one used in Sonoma: sysctl kern.sched -> edge
which seems to be an extension over "clutch":
