FWIW, I'd be okay with dropping mmap mode entirely since compression has been
the default for almost two years now.

Are you implying that because compression is the default no one uses
uncompressed tables any more? If so I disagree. In cases with small rows 1-10
columns compression can hurt your performance. I am assuming what happens is de
serializing compressed blocks 4 k blocks when rows are small creates much more
young gen and ends up being a bottleneck. Several operators have told me they
do not use compression on high read column families.
