I think that characterization is a bit inaccurate.

At work we're using ffs1 for a filesystem just epsilon under 2T (it's a
1k/8k filesystem; we'd make it bigger except the RAID card it's on
doesn't support logical drives >2T), and it works fine.  What do you
expect to be "EXCRUCIATINGLY PAINFUL" about it?
