There is also a number of cases which justify disabling DUP for metadata, e.g.

- underlying block device is an internally deduplicating SSD (i.e. possibly
  most of them)
- or the block device is a RAID incorporating redundancy
- or simply one wants increase performance at the cost of some reliability

With non-DUP metadata your calculations showing inlining being more efficient
remain correct.
