I too am struggling to see the benefit but am curious enough that I
will run some tests on my own as I have fresh baseline RAID1 large sweep
performance data ready right now.

So my WIP round robin patch won't need nr_pedning for SSDs but I think
it will for HDD plus I need a new atomic counter for round robin for
SSDs anyway but I see no perfomrnace impact so far from adding it.
