It should be noted that I recently released e2fsprogs 1.44.0 (currently in Debian Unstable, should hopefully hit Debian Testing in three more days) which turns on Metadata Checksums for everyone.

https://packages.debian.org/sid/e2fsprogs

Pulling in 1.44.0 into 18.04 LTS would be nice since it supports two new features, largedir and ea_inode, (neither turned on by default yet, but the second in particular is very useful for Samba servers since it was written specifically to efficiently support Windows ACL's and Security ID's better than any other file system by supporting xattr dedupe.)
