Yes, but they wrote it’s for a demo and it’s fine if they lost the last few seconds in the event of unexpected system shutdown.

And also in prod, etcd recommends you run with SSDs to minimize variance of fsync/write latencies

How would you get into an inconsistent state based on an fsync change?

Edit: I meant what sequence of events would cause etcd to go into an inconsistent state when fsync is working this way
