Existing clients should not be sending FUA on anything other than
NBD_CMD_WRITE *and* relying on the behaviour, as the behaviour is
not documented (hence this discussion). Therefore it shouldn't
break anything. I also think it won't break anything in practice
as qemu doesn't use FUA on write and the kernel doesn't use FUA
at all; I realise that is not an exhaustive list.
