One thing I take away from this is that it is worth it to add a data-verification layer to your files, even if you think/know the filesystem will be handling that for you.

It becomes especially more important if corruption would go unnoticed otherwise.

Absolutely agreed. I’ve been through a couple debates about whether it’s worth adding a checksum, and every time we’ve either been glad we did or regretted that we didn’t.
