By the way I was under the impression that Ethereum will still have forks, and thus probabilistic finality

Ethereum's PoS is really two consensus algorithms. The first converges rapidly but has probabilistic finality. The second has true finality, in the sense that a finalized block can't be reverted without destroying a large percentage of total stake, but it takes a while before that finality kicks in.
