You need to use 'direct' write more - otherwise you are just witnessing issues
related with 'page-cache' flushing.
Every update of file means update of journal - so you surely can lose some
data in-flight - but every good software needs to the flush before doing next
transaction - so with correctly working transaction software no data could be
lost.

Yep - XFS is slightly different - but it gets improved, however some new
features are not enabled by default and user needs to enabled them.
