I have used it for read-only mounts since way back and have not have any
problems, including brief periods of high I/O.

I'd have reservations allowing unique data on a read-write mount, however
I just did a few quick and simple tests of reads and writes on a rw null
mount on my 4.8-RC box with no apparent problem.
