I would definitely expect a separate piece of hardware to be swappable without impacting on the rest of my machine. I can change/upgrade the CPU without breaking the north bridge or losing my RAID mapping so why should the data storage mechanism on my new NVMe device (which is where my mind leaps for NOVA) be any different?
What type of usage am I missing where losing/having to do an offline rebuild of your data would be acceptable during a hardware upgrade? NOVA seems to be aiming to address the recognised issue by overprovisioning (which I disagree with but such is life). I don't really understand your argument.
