Not quite sure what this article is talking about:

I personally believe log-based file systems are a perfect match due to never saving the same file repeatedly to the same location (so provides built in wear-leveling) and one can optimize writes by always clearing the head of the log for the next write.

That list is specious at best.

Take ZFS. I designed the flash integration for ZFS; it's used as a caching tier. ZFS is definitely not optimized for use with flash as its primary backing store. The same is true for some of the other filesystems in the list; offhand: CASL and WAFL.

Most of the rest are designed for embedded use cases, are research toys, or are embedded research toys.
