Bloom filters have false positives that can lead to difficult to predict 
behavior.

The core proble(s) being reported with file dependencies is the size of the 
download, the cost of the load, and the size/number of copies one for each 
location managed by dnf. These are all problems that are straight forward to 
mitigate without forbidding file dependencies.

(aside)
I personally like Bloom filters, and have used them successfully multiple 
places in rpm code.
