Sharding has one benefit for me (oVirt) -> faster heal after maintenance. Otherwise imagine 150 GB VM disk - while you reboot recently patched node , all files on the running replica will be marked for replication. Either it will consume alot of CPU ( to find the neccessary ofsets for heal) or use full heal and replicate the whole file. With sharding - it's quite simple and fast.
