Nice writeup but IMHO it's wrong to assume enabling dedup will make sense under any circumstance, especially regarding the performance drawbacks on systems that can't handle it. It might deserve a little more consideration than just setting it on by default in a somewhat copy-pasteable command. Oracle published a nifty guide on how to proceed with dedup:

Thank you, @janwh! I have added a warning to my write-up and have also updated/shuffled some sections around to get it a better shape :-)
