It is not clear to me how this would break zonefs? Is my understanding

It does, but your patch removes the guarantee that the split actually never
happens, and thus that we cannot see silent data corruptions due to append
commands being fragmented and the fragments being reordered. I do not like that.

That's fair. Let's drop this patch.

Thanks,

Bart.
