this was also on 4.11 which probably does not use softupdates.

yes it does.. Doesn't have UFS2 and snapshots however.



that does not mean that a scheduler is useless in general.
in fact, what i find questionable is hardwiring unnecessary

ordering constraints in the layers above. I cannot comment for
the disk, but e.g. for the process scheduler there are priority
updates in many places depending on what the process is doing.
