Strict FIFO writing

For system stability purposes, if I'm using FancyCache on my system drive, I want it to be no worse than not using FancyCache on a system drive in case of a power failure.
Currently if a power failure happens, I'm under the impression that the expected outcome may include corruption, since FancyCache seems to reorder sectors on write for efficiency due to the random write results and the supporting quote showing why it's faster:

Would it be possible to get a toggle for speed vs. strict FIFO writing for data integrity on power loss?3. With Defer-Write, FancyCache can combine neighbouring small writes into one large write and align writes with SSD’s erase block boundary. This feature brings the performance boost
