If I delete something on a disk that is far from being full it is just plain dumb to really erase this data from the disk. It won't help anyone. It will only hurt you if you deleted it accidently.

And since it is the true goal of a fs to organise data on a drive it is most obvious that "undelete" (you may call it lazy-delete) is a very basic fs feature and_not_ an add-on patched onto it.
Have you explored xlators/features/trash in the source tree? Does that fit your requirements? If that does, code clean up in trash translator and exposing undelete (via trash xlator) as a tunable through the gluster volume set interface is not complex.
