a) It's one filesystem still, just that the blockdevice it's on is being
replicated.

b) For keeping filesystems in sync, other techniques such as rsync etc
might also be applicable.

c) Many HA services don't require a replicated file systems. (Firewalls,
databases with builtin replication and so on.)

d) Shared storage should work on OpenBSD too.

e) I'm sure someone will take money to build you a replicated block
device for OpenBSD too ;-)
