discard/fstrim/blkdiscard works fine with issue_discards=0.

If it doesn't work, setting issue_discards=1 won't do a thing for you. 
That flag only affects the lvm tool itself, discard freed LVM extents 
after lvreduce or pvmove. Can't undo botched resizes anymore, too bad.

Most storage layers simply don't have any setting for this at all.
It just works. Or it does not (in many cases, old/stable kernel/distro).
cryptsetup's allow-discards is the exception, the one layer where you 
have to manually enable something to make it work.
