Storage arrays have traditionally put their own internal magic in that
tag space and therefore did not allow filesystems to use it.

That has changed with the latest NVMe PI amendments which allow a larger
tag (and CRC). The tag space can be split between storage and
application/filesystem use. There are definitely interesting things that
can be done in this area.
