OpenACS does have a few pages using ns_write by default, and for the occasional page where it makes sense, being able to use ns_write is certainly very useful and important.
It probably wouldn't be too hard to change these to not use ns_write, I think most applications should probably avoid using it at all if possible, because even if it provides a nice feature of letting the user know that something is actually happening, even if slowly, there are other ways of doing so. I have seen, for instance, a php based forum package that gives a warning page inbetween search request and results display.
Pound seems really nice. Too bad it has this limitation.
