Er... scratch that response :)

It's true that XFS doesn't let you share data if the AG is more than 90%
full, but this test exposed a data corruption vector in 4.20-6.12 if you
did run out of space.  Granted you'd only hit that if you had 64k block
size and a fairly small disk (~33GB) but still, that's reason enough to
keep running on XFS even if it runs out of space.  ENOSPC is better than
data corruption.
