Agreed about the impact of Force Ratio. IME the asynchronous writes with wait sent to journal pages proved to be faster than synchronous writes to the dataspace; i.e. a Force Ratio of one was much more costly than using journaling. This was shown consistently [given a properly configured system, with at least minimum disk\arms] to be the case when the system database cross files were changed from originally using a force ratio of one to ensure data integrity to later using journaling to ensure data integrity. The difference in full rewrite of the data [refresh the DBXREF] was consistently faster when journaling than when using FrcRatio(1). The effect for delete and update were not formally tested, but there were AFaIK no complaints.

Having a journal to replace the sync force feature enables reviewing the I/O and as an added bonus also enables an application to have a convenient "log" to record more than just the I/O; at the cost of the additional storage, but even that over time has become much less of an issue.
