Does this need to be made dependent on the kernel version? I'm becoming more and more convinced this option shouldn't be enabled by default, considering it has needed repeated tweaking.

No. Changes are already in the current 6.1 kernel.

I presume there is a possibility of data loss if you shutdown your system (and drive) without flushing the SCSI cache.
Although I don't know anyone has ever encountered it.

We support older kernels than 6.1.
