I don't think it's worth over-complicating a cute feature that you have 
to choose to turn on.  This is not enabled by default.  If you want 
cute, you have to give up something.  In my particular application, I 
need the cute, and the trade-off is completely acceptable.  What's the 
problem?

In the applications where I need them, there is typically only one 
(very large) file system, and the start-up scripts that handle this 
don't enable parallelism in any case.

Just because parallelism is disabled, doesn't mean you can't use it in 
multi-filesystem configurations!  I don't know where on earth you got 
that idea.

If NetBSD doesn't want the changes, fine.  No skin off my back.
