Is "nobarrier" mount option still a thing? I thought those mount options 
have been deprecated or even removed with the introduction of cache flush 
handling in kernel 2.6.37?

Hmm, the mount option has been removed from XFS in in kernel 4.19 
according to manpage, however no mention of any deprecation or removal 
in ext4 manpage. It also does not seem to be removed in BTRFS at least 
according to manpage btrfs(5).
