FUSE is full of gotchas. I wouldn't replace NFS with JuiceFS for arbitrary workloads. Getting the full FUSE set implemented is not easy -- you can't use sqlite on JuiceFS, for example.

The meta store is a bottleneck too. For a shared mount, you've got a bunch of clients sharing a metadata store that lives in the cloud somewhere. They do a lot of aggressive metadata caching. It's still surprisingly slow at times.

I want to go ahead and nominate this for the understatement of the year. I expect that 2026 is going to be filled with people finding this out the hard way as they pivot towards FUSE for agents.
