Yes, that would be great. Currently streams are used pretty heavily (and cause an additional slowdown). So once they are replaced with regular fs.copyFile calls, we could simply add that flag to use reflinks where possible.

(There's currently also a "bug" in Node where reflinks aren't supported on macOS: libuv/libuv#2578)
