For many use cases in Samba, fincore will probably be enough. But Windows clients become more and more multi-threaded, so Samba sees multiple parallel active read requests. Samba's core SMB processing engine is single threaded, and if due to that race we get blocked, more than one data stream will be affected. We might make it an option to use the fincore alternative, but I don't see it as a default. The default will be the strict threadpool.
