I read the start and the end of thread but couldn’t get an understranding of what the current situation is : did linux update its fsync behavior ? Does pg now panics on linux on the first fsync ?

Linux kernel behavior is still the same. The error reporting issues (failure to report I/O errors in various cases) has been fixed on recent kernels, AFAIK.
PostgreSQL now PANICs on I/O errors during fsync, forcing a recovery.
