> My theory is that Apple rushed APFS and its implementation isn't in a great shape for the public review.

The rollout of APFS was _incredibly_ well done; I don't think there is even a remote comparison to how successful it was. A new file system was rolled out to millions of devices in an automated fashion with very few issues. I don't think anyone else has even considered such a thing. I highly doubt the code is that rough, I can't imagine pulling this off without fairly solid core code in place.

Agreed. For iOS, the rollout was so smooth that most people weren't even aware it was taking place, with the only observable effect being that the iOS upgrade took a bit longer than usual. For the macOS rollout, there were more hiccups, but still, extremely smooth. In fact, I just had to launch Disk Utility to double-check that this computer was in fact migrated to APFS because I couldn't recall actually seeing anything specific about it (as this computer has a fusion drive, as well as a Bootcamp partition).

Mojave update trashed my Fusion Drive to the extent that plugging any other mac into my imac in target disk mode made the host mac instantly kernel panic. And I lost all my files obv.

But you did backup before update, didn’t you?

You mean besides the fact that the volume encryption password was stored in plain text in the disk?
