Ran @siracusa 's Hyperspace utility on a volume that backs up my primary “online" video editing volume.

Reclaimed 1.64TB of space. Took a long while.

Yes it's a spinning drive with APFS. Don't @ me.

@RGPphotog @siracusa APFS on spinning disk has been fixed longtime ago. You’re good. =)
@RGPphotog @siracusa you are a patient fellow. I lasted a month on spinning rust with APFS until I retreated to the safety of HFS+.
@RGPphotog @siracusa You’ve got to be the winner so far
@RGPphotog @siracusa Be warned, eventually this filesystem will fail so catastrophically that any Mac you plug it into will trigger deadlock timeouts and reboot when you attach it. You will have warnings before as it will slowly degrade in performance. To recover will require a erase and reformat.

APFS on spinning disk: not fast, but it is safe(er).
