Not sure if I got your question.
You want to know how filesystems in general behave when they run out
of free space?
The general answer is that they need more effort to find free space.

In case of UBIFS you also have to think of the garbage collector.
See http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org/doc/ubifs.html
At the end of the day you'll have to run benchmarks on your own to
find out how a specific filesystem behaves on your workload...
