APFS vs HFS Checksums/Integrity/Fusion Drives

Hello,

I want to upgrade to Mojave, but still have some questions:


1 - On Wikipedia I read about APFS:

“Apple File System uses checksums to ensure data integrity for metadata, but not user data.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_File_System

Is this still the case?


2 - Did HFS+ use checksums for user data?


3 - BTW: Has the following been resolved in the meantime for Mohave and Fusion Drives:

Many thanks!
