APFS became the default file system in macOS 10.13 so I don't know how common it is to see HFS+ these days. Although we expect it should be rare to be changing the last access time, my concern is that finding the mount point to get the file system type can be problematic in some configurations. It would be good if we could avoid the workaround so I'm interested to see if Apple will fix the bug or not.
