Indeed, IMO, chance of encountering a device with BBs and supporting

If you want this, then make sure raid will set fail fast together with
atomic write. This way disk will just faulty with IO error instead of
marking with BB, hence make sure there are no BBs.
To be clear, you mean to set the r1/r10 bio failfast flag, right?
There are rdev and also r1/r10 bio failfast flags.
I mean the rdev flag, all underlying disks should set FailFast, so that
no BB will be present. rdev will just become faulty for the case IO
error.
r1/r10 bio failfast flags is for internal usage to handle IO error.
I am not familiar with all consequences of FailFast for an rdev, but it
seems a bit drastic to set it just because the rdev supports atomic
writes. If we support atomic writes, then not all writes will
necessarily be atomic.
Thanks,
