Thanks.

My proposal to just introduce loadLoadFence(ref) (which further
simplifies VarHandle.getDependently(ref)) was based in part
on Section 3 (of the last version of N4321 I'd seen), that
mentions and dismisses the idea of forcing layer-by-layer
use of something similar in extended dependency chains.
Without an OS kernel full of prior users/code to deal
with, this seems to minimally suffice. Especially since in
Java, programmers are more willing to use tools that might help
automate tiered fence placement. Yes?
