It could be argued that since checksums are computed after writing, that
SDC has already happened by the time the checksum is computed and written
(I also don't know if the metadata itself is checksummed so the checksum
could be wrong maybe and we don't know that?).

But yes it's stored checksum. It can be enabled to check on read/open but
by default it only does verification with scrubs. And the checksums are per
file, and are SHA256 based. So it's different than Btrfs, and it's passive.
But it's there.
