LiteFS works similarly to async replication you'd find in Postgres or MySQL so it doesn't try to be as strict as something running a distributed consensus protocol like Raft. The guarantees for async replication are fairly loose so I'm not sure Jepsen testing would be useful for that per se.
On the LiteFS Cloud side, it currently does streaming backups so it has similar guarantees but we are expanding its feature set and I could see running Jepsen testing on that in the future. We worked with Kyle Kingsbury in the past on some distributed systems challenges[1] and he was awesome to work with. Would definitely love to engage with him again.
