What happens if the file blocksize isn't 4k?  Does fastcommit only
support one block size?  I didn't think it has any such restriction?

This needs a bit more explanation -- why 18?  I think the reason is that
you need the fallocate to cross into another flexbg, and flexbgs (by
default) are 16bg long, right?

If that's the case, then don't you need to detect the flexbg size so
that this is still an effective test if someone runs fstests with
MKFS_OPTIONS='-G 32' or something?
