This is very odd. I haven't (intentionally) created a ext2 filesystem
since ext3 became available. :-)
Moreover /proc/mounts says it's an ext4 filesystem:
/dev/mapper/rootvol_tmp-almalinux8_opt /opt ext4 rw,seclabel,relatime 0 0
Do ext2 filesystems actually mount successfully and quietly when
mounted as ext4? Surely if one asks to mount an ext2 filesystem as
ext4 mount should fail and complain, yes?
Is https://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/UpgradeToExt4 still
considered accurate, in terms of an in-place upgrade of ext2 to ext4
being sub-optimal?
Is metadata locality the only thing you don't get with an in-place
upgrade? If so, how important is that, really?

NPAA. Thank-you very much for your time and analysis on this issue.
Cheers,
