Only place I use hardlinks is between binaries in a debian package and
backups. In both cases they are totaly read-only and only a space
saver. Not so that changes to one file will also show up in the other.
I can't think of anything that would break if hardlinks would have a
copy-on-write/copy-up semantic in delta-fs.
