"However, it doesn't prevent an attacker yet from rolling back the filesystem by replacing blocks with an earlier valid version of the same block."
All cryptographic filesystems have that limitation. The attacker cannot modify or tamper data or create new data (thanks to authenticated encryption), but they can always return the raw disk back to an earlier version if they have a copy of it.
The fact that the filesystem can be rolled back, does not automatically imply GCM IV reuse as you suggest. In fact, it should increase confidence on the basis that the authors are aware of the possibility of rollback.
