Direct block storage is good, but note that SSDs are essentially just doing CoW internally too.

It's perhaps also worth a mention that embracing the internal characteristics of SSD throughout the software stack looks like the inevitable direction we're headed (short of another major breakthrough in storage tech) - e.g. see "A Survey on the Integration of NAND Flash Storage in the Design of File Systems and the Host Storage Software Stack" https://arxiv.org/pdf/2307.11866.pdf
