What's sectsz= used for? Historically this would be sectsz=512, bsize=4096 before AF hard drives appeared. So is sectsz used for optimizing sub blocksize changes? e.g. if only 50 bytes needs changing, the fs doesn't need to read modify and write the entire 4096 block, just change the affected sector? If that's true, then sectsz=512 for a 4096 physical sector drive would cause a lot of in-drive RMW, depending on the workdlow. On older AF drives this can be a huge penalty hit.
