geom_sched influence on SU consistency

I'm wondering how geom_sched influences soft-update consistency.

To my understanding it's very important to SU, that the file system
controls writing sequences. Because geom_sched is transparent,
i.e. UFS does not know about access scheduling, I'm afraid that
the use of geom_sched would endanger my file system consistency
in case of a crash.

Can anyone put my fears to rest or confirm them?
