LiteFS author here. That's a good explanation, Simon. Preventing writes on the replica is a nice benefit to FUSE versus an external process. Another benefit of the control is that we can maintain a rolling checksum of the entire database at each transaction so we're able to verify integrity when replicating. That's also what allows us to do asynchronous replication across a loose membership of nodes since we can easily detect if a node diverges.
